Key Points:
Zoom has several meeting controls that allow users to manage meetings more effectively. Access to these controls during a meeting is critical in enhancing the meeting experience.
However, sometimes the toolbar disappears and gets difficult to find. People complain that they have to stop presenting or leave the meeting and rejoin to get the floating control bar, which can be quite a hassle.
To prevent this, you can turn on the Always Show Meeting Control feature and make the control toolbar always visible during a meeting in two different ways.
If you are already in a meeting and the control toolbar disappears, you can unhide it in four simple steps:

To explore the shortcuts available for use during the meeting, go to the Settings icon after launching the app on Windows or Mac. Next, scroll down to Keyboard Shortcuts on the left pane of the screen.
There are several hotkeys that can execute the control functions during a Zoom meeting, including:
Apart from controls, you can use keyboard shortcuts for quick navigation through Zoom. The default navigation shortcuts include:
You can also use shortcuts to control the interface of your Zoom screen. Here are some of the hotkeys to leverage:
