LED Zoom Meeting Busy Light Indicator
A simple way to create the LED Zoom meeting busy light indicator. The LED light will turn red if your Zoom meeting session is running and it will turn green if the meeting is finished. It shows your status if you’re working in office or even working from home to avoid distractions.
We will be using this approach as depicted in the diagram below. The python script running on your Mac computer will check the Zoom subprocess. If there is an active meeting session, it will send a message to PubNub service and then route to the Web Bluetooth which is paired with the micro:bit with RGB LED. For this use case I am using Mac OS with OS Catalina (10.15.7).
PubNub
Create an account in https://www.pubnub.com and create a new app. Get the Publish and Subscribe key.
We will use the keys later in the Python and Web Bluetooth app to communicate the message.
