To install this plugin, download it from the StreamDeck App Store. If you use this function, please send me the menu names for your language and I’ll put them on here. I’d like to start a collection of menu names in different languages, so people could copy and paste from this page. Here’s how it looks in the menu itself:Īgain, if you’re using Zoom in a language different from English, you need to configure all actions with the custom menu names. The Meeting Menu is the first level of the menu. In the above example, the German menu names for Mute Audio and Unmute Audio are filled out in the fields.

It defaults to the English menu items and if you’re using a different language, you need to configure the right menu item names for each action. This plugin uses AppleScript to scan the Zoom menu items for specific words and clicks the menu items to control Zoom. Leave the shortcuts as their defaults for now. Meaning, if you change the shortcuts, the plugin won’t work. Currently, these are hard coded to the defaults of Zoom. The plugin controls the Zoom actions by sending keyboard shortcuts to the Zoom client. Please switch Zoom to the English version for now. If those words are not there (i.e., because you’re using a different language than English), it will not detect it. This plugin uses UI automation to scan the Zoom application for specific words (i.e., “currently unmuted”, or “Start Video”). It’s using AppleScript to detect the status of the buttons and UI automation on Windows.

After doing some research, I decided to solve that with a native Stream Deck Plugin for Zoom.

There was a drawback: the SD buttons didn’t synchronize with the Zoom client, meaning the button could show a muted icon, while the meeting was not muted. For one, this sent keyboard shortcuts directly to the Zoom client to toggle mute and video and had the ability to leave a meeting with the press of a (physical) button. It also allows control of more than just Zoom and Webex, with microphone mute support and upcoming support for Microsoft Teams, and more.Īfter getting a Stream Deck earlier this year, I built a way to control my Zoom meetings with it. While this plugin is still available, development is focused on MuteDeck. MuteDeck is the next version of the Stream Deck Plugin for Zoom and Webex, please check it out here.
