As someone who frequently participates in numerous work-related meetings, I have expressed my interest in creating an automated system for controlling Zoom’s audio and video with through the simple click of a physical button. It is currently working on Mac.

In this tutorial, I will demonstrate how to control the Zoom application by muting/unmuting audio and toggling video on/off with a physical button. Additionally, I will guide you on incorporating visual feedback through an LED indicator to display the current status of Zoom’s audio and video activation.

What we need ?

  • A Raspberry Pico Wireless version.
  • 2 LEDs and 2 push buttons.
  • 2 resistors 220 Ω and few jumper wires.
  • A breadboard

We need a Raspberry Pico Wireless since we will communicate with the host computer via Bluetooth.

This is my Zoom meeting companion device, providing live updates on audio and camera status — whether muted or unmuted, and if the camera is on or off through LEDs. It has buttons for easy control of my Zoom meeting too!
