Switch Zoom / Camo video source hands free?

Tech Support

Hi!

I am using Zoom for a music lesson weekly. I have my Macbook Air camera pointed at my face for direct conversation with the teacher. I have Camo running on my iPhone and focused on my keyboard when I’m actively playing. I would love to be able to hit a footswitch in order to swap the video source shown on Zoom. Would appreciate any ideas.

Thanks.

All you’d need to do is bind the foot-switch to ⇧⌘N which is Zoom’s keyboard shortcut for switching cameras – assuming that the only cameras that Zoom “sees” are those two.

If it sees others, then I’m not sure how to “skip” some of them using that shortcut, but maybe others will have ideas.

Thanks, that is one issue I see; it sees the Camo camera and the laptop camera but also both my iPhone and iPhone desk view cameras. I’m not sure how to remove those from the list.

Oh… disable Continuity camera, that works. Now just two cameras so the keyboard shortcut should work to switch between them.

Anyone have a footswitch to recommend? @MacSparky the king of StreamDeck devices care to weigh in?

I know David has/had this one

because we talked about it when we both bought them.
