Google Meet Keyboard Shortcuts to Make Life Easier

Judy SanhzMay 28, 2020 Comments (14)

Zoom may have skyrocketed to stardom, but that doesn’t mean that won’t be users that don’t want to use it. There are plenty of other video-conferencing options out there that don’t stand out for their security flaws.

Even though it’s not a considerable effort having to move our hands from the keyboard to the mouse, if there is a keyboard shortcut that you can use, it’s welcome.

    I’m using two cameras for a drawing tuition class – one USB webcam on top and the one default laptop cam. There’s an option to switch camera in Settings->Video. But is there a shortcut key for switching cameras?
