Hello everyone,

I would like to be able to set my Zoom status with a single shortcut, so I can switch to “not available” when I leave my desktop and revert to “available” when I return. I previously used this in Pidgin and it worked well, so I’m hoping for a similar functionality in Zoom.

As far as I can tell, this is not a feature yet implemented in Zoom, so I was wondering if it was possible to create a small script that can set my status. Also, I am not sure in how for I need to have access to an OAuth infrastructure. We don’t have one here, so that is not a short term option.

I’d be grateful if you could give a novice a hint in the right direction 😉

Thanks a lot in advance!
