For those of you who host online sessions on Zoom, if you are like me, you are often having to copy and paste the same text each week into the chat for tunes or recurring event links.
I had initially done that by keeping a text document open in another window specific for each event, and then manually selecting, copying the text, clicking back into the Zoom chat, and then pasting the text.
That works OK, but it’s very easy to make a mistake during the process.
To help automate this process, during the 2020 COVID lockdowns I built a simple web-based tool that you are welcome to copy and modify to your own requirements.
It’s essentially a button board that copies text onto the clipboard, which you can then paste into the Zoom chat.
Since it’s a web page, you’ll either need to host zoombuttons.html somewhere, or could just run it locally from your computer.
You’ll find the full source code and details on how to customize it for your needs here:
