[Athen] Unexpected zoom challenges in my online course (long)

[Russell Solowoniuk]

Hi Glen,

Thanks so much for sharing these shortcut keys for mute in the various platforms. I was aware of the Zoom shortcut, but not the others! They will come in handy.

Take good care,

Russell

Some really good points and shows how accessibility is so tied with usability.  Just because the mute button itself is accessible does not mean it's a usable experience.

But speaking of mute, are you using the shortcut key to mute/unmute rather than navigating to the button itself?  You still have the issue that the window must have focus in order to use the shortcut key and then switch back to the other window to hear/read the contents.  I have a little cheat sheet of mute shortcut keys for various online platforms such as zoom, webex, goto meeting.

zoom - alt+a
goto meeting- ctrl+alt+a
google hangouts - ctrl+d
bluejeans - m
microsoft teams - ctrl+shift+m
webex - ctrl+m
