A macropad customized for Microsoft Teams meetings
This repository contains the files I used to create a macropad designed to make video meetings in Microsoft Teams easier on multi-monitor workstations.
Microsoft has published a list of keyboard shortcuts for Teams.
For v1 of this macropad I'm using a relatively inexpensive 12-key, 2-knob macropad sourced from AliExpress.
Initially I applied labels printed using a Dymo label maker to the stock black keycaps for ease of trial-and-error experimentation. These were eventually replaced by relegendable keycaps sourced from AliExpress.
I selected the following shorcuts for v1:
| Function | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Toggle mute | Ctrl + M |
| Temporarily unmute | Ctrl + Spacebar |
| Toggle video | Ctrl + Shift + O |
| Start screen share | Ctrl + Shift + E |
| Raise/lower hand | Ctrl + Shift + K |
| Function | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Move active window left | Win + Shift + Left |
| Move active window right | Win + Shift + Right |
| Task view | Win + Tab |
| Function | Shortcut |
