Turn off your camera quickly<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are times when you need to quickly turn off your video during a call, it may be that your bandwidth is limited or there are distractions behind you. Quickly toggle your camera on and off by using the Ctrl+Shift+O<\/strong> shortcut. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customise your hyperlinks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Instead of cluttering your messages with lengthy URLs, make use of the Ctrl+K<\/strong> shortcut. This shortcut allows you to customise the displayed text for your hyperlink, making your messages more concise!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
