Overview

Zoom client controls and Zoom meeting controls are available on the MacBook Pro Touch Bar.

During a Zoom meeting, the control panel allows you to use various functions such as muting/unmuting, starting/stopping your video, starting/stopping recording (if enabled), allowing others to access your desktop, leaving the meeting, and accessing Zoom settings.
