Steps to be up and running
Step 1: Download and install the BetterTouchTool Config!
The details if you're interested. You can also play around with these once you have added this config to BTT.

Step 2: Reconfigure Zoom Keyboard Shortcut
Change the "Press and hold 'Space Key' to temporarily unmute" shortcut to ⇧⌘F5 (Shift+Command+Fn+F5)
OStep 3: Dont forget to plug it in! 🔌
If you dont plug it in, it cant really do anything 🤷♂️
Optional Step N: Here's the Arduino Code if you want to play around!
#include "Keyboard.h"
#include "Adafruit_Debounce.h"
const int bigRedPin = 14;
const int camTogglePin = 16;
const int pttPin = 10;
Adafruit_Debounce bigRed(bigRedPin, LOW);
Adafruit_Debounce camToggle(camTogglePin, LOW);
Adafruit_Debounce ptt(pttPin, LOW);
void setup() {
//Serial COM for debugging
Serial.begin(9600);
//intitate buttons
bigRed.begin();
camToggle.begin();
ptt.begin();
}
void loop() {
//update button state
bigRed.update();
camToggle.update();
ptt.update();
//Push-to-Talk Trigger check
if (ptt.justPressed()) {
// Serial.println("Button was just pressed!");
pttActivate();
}
//Push-to-Talk Release check
if (ptt.justReleased()) {
// Serial.println("Button was just released!");
Keyboard.releaseAll();
}
//Camera togggle trigger
if (camToggle.justPressed()) {
// Serial.println("Camera toggled!");
toggleCamera();
}
if (camToggle.justReleased()) {
// Serial.println("Camera Toggled!");
toggleCamera();
}
if (bigRed.justPressed()) {
// Serial.println("Big Red Button was just pressed!");
endZoomMeeting();
}
//Debouncing the buttons
delay(20);
}
void pttActivate(){
// Serial.println("ptt lessgoo");
//Pressing ⌘F12 to trigger the BetterTouchTool shortcut
Keyboard.press(KEY_LEFT_GUI);
Keyboard.press(KEY_F12);
delay(50);
Keyboard.releaseAll();
delay(300);
//Modify this to match the Keyboard shortcut in Zoom for Temporary Unmute (⇧⌘F5 For this implementation)
Keyboard.press(KEY_LEFT_SHIFT);
Keyboard.press(KEY_LEFT_GUI);
Keyboard.press(KEY_F5);
}
void endZoomMeeting(){
//Pressing ⌘F10 to trigger the BetterTouchTool shortcut
Keyboard.press(KEY_LEFT_GUI);
Keyboard.press(KEY_F10);
delay(50);
Keyboard.releaseAll();
}
void toggleCamera(){
//Pressing ⌘F11 to trigger the BetterTouchTool shortcut
Keyboard.press(KEY_LEFT_GUI);
Keyboard.press(KEY_F11);
delay(50);
Keyboard.releaseAll();
}
