Hello! I was wondering if there is an API or webhook that would allow me to enhance the Request Control feature in Zoom so the 2nd user can control a 2nd mouse cursor and keyboard utilizing my friend’s MouseMux software https:// mousemux. com/? My main purpose of doing so is to host accessible game nights in Zoom where participants can play a game locally with me using my Overjoyed accessible video game controller https:// our odyssey. org/overjoyed-software. Thanks!

I think currently, Zoom’s API and webhooks don’t support multi-cursor or multi-keyboard input. and the requres remote control feature only allows one user to control the host’s screen at a time, and this control isn’t exposed in a way that would let you customize it with something like MouseMux.
Combining Zoom’s screen sharing with MouseMux locally on your machine might allow shared input if both devices are physically or virtually connected to your system.
For a smoother experience, you might consider running the game locally and using remote desktop tools that better support multiple inputs. Then, you can layer Zoom on top for the social/video part. I have been using the same method to record my gaming stuff.

You’re right, Zoom doesn’t really give that kind of control for multi-input, and the workaround with MouseMux is more of a local solution.
