Using the new [Session Admin](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/introducing-the-new-session-admin?hsLang=en)? [Click here](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/how-to-create-keyboard-shortcuts-with-hotkeys#session_admin) 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. ![](https://kb.bigmarker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Apr-29-2026-06-09-03-9376-PM.png?width=600&height=279&name=image-png-Apr-29-2026-06-09-03-9376-PM.png) 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.  ![](https://kb.bigmarker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-03-2026-06-37-12-4598-PM.png?width=300&height=123&name=image-png-Jun-03-2026-06-37-12-4598-PM.png) Once you have these hotkeys configured, you and all your presenters are able to use them inside of the live webinar room. ### List of Default Hotkeys | Turn Camera On/Off  | ShiftLeft + C | | --- | --- | | Turn Microphone On/Mute | ShiftLeft + M | | Open Mic & Cam Settings | ShiftLeft + T | | Share Screen | ShiftLeft + S | | Add Video | ShiftLeft + V | | Add Presentation Slides | ShiftLeft + P | | Play/Pause Video | ShiftLeft + Spacebar | | Add an Inbound RTMP Stream (Admin only) | ShiftLeft + R | | Add Offers | ShiftLeft + O | | Giveaways | ShiftLeft + D | | Mute All Presenter Mics | ShiftLeft + L | | Move All Presenters Off Stage | ShiftLeft + Comma | | Move All Presenters On Stage | ShiftLeft + Period | | Toggle Presentation Tabs | Number row | ### Hotkeys in the classic admin You'll find **Hotkeys** in the left-hand menu in the manage webinar dashboard. ![](https://kb.bigmarker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202025-03-17%20at%201-16-10%20PM-png-1.png?width=600&height=433&name=Screen%20Shot%202025-03-17%20at%201-16-10%20PM-png-1.png) -
