Zoom Shortcut Keys and a Fix for Mystery Muting and Pause/Resume in Zoom Mtgs
Issues with muting, resuming, and pausing that happens mysteriously during Zoom meetings
Zoom Has Shortcut Keys
Accidental entry of shortcut commands on the keyboard are the reason why your zoom meeting may accidentally mute or pause/resume recordings.
It's possible that the host/co-host may tap or hit one of these key combinations,
and you can accidentally mute/unmute yourself or the entire room (depending if you are the host or not).
You can also pause or resume recordings if you are the host.
