How to Create Keyboard Shortcuts with Hotkeys

Create Keyboard shortcuts for your most popular commands, which presenters and admins can use during live events.

Using the new Session Admin? Click here to learn where you can find the Hotkeys settings.

Use Hotkeys to create keyboard shortcuts for your most popular commands, such as turning on and off cameras, muting microphones, pausing and advancing slides, and more. Hotkeys give presenters and admins an easy avenue for commonly used actions during live events. 

Note: In order to customize a new hotkey, a new shortcut must be two keys (such as A+B).

The two keys can be any combination, but it is strongly recommend that you stay away from using the CTRL/CMD button, as it's associated with many common browser and operating system shortcuts. 

To enable and edit the Hotkeys in the Session Admin, visit Production > Advanced, then to the Hotkeys tab.

When enabled, you'll see a list of hotkeys available to you. Each hotkey will have a default set that you can update individually.

Note: Hotkeys that are set here will be the same for all presenters inside of the webinar.

When editing an individual hotkey, you can also click the reset icon to reset the custom shortcut back to the preset shortcut. 

Once you have these hotkeys configured, you and all your presenters are able to use them inside of the live webinar room.
