Zoom on Linux uses Alt as its primary modifier for call controls, the same pattern as Windows. If you know Zoom shortcuts on Windows, the same Alt-based combinations apply on Linux.
Alt modifier throughout. Zoom call controls use Alt on Linux, matching Windows exactly. Alt+A to mute, Alt+V for video, Alt+S for screen sharing, the full set.
Mute and unmute. Alt+A toggles the microphone. The most-used Zoom shortcut on any platform.
Push to talk. Hold Space while muted to temporarily unmute. Release Space to mute again. Available on Linux without any configuration.
Screen sharing and call controls. Alt+S starts and stops screen sharing. Alt+T pauses and resumes. Alt+Y raises and lowers your hand. Full call control shortcuts are in the table above.
Desktop environment conflicts. Alt-based shortcuts are commonly used by Linux desktop environments for window management (e.g., Alt+F4 closes windows). Zoom's Alt shortcuts, particularly Alt+S for screen sharing, are unlikely to conflict with most DE defaults, but worth checking if a shortcut doesn't respond.
The Zoom Linux shortcut list is available as a printable PDF. The shortcut set is identical to Windows, the same reference applies on both platforms.
Yes. Both use Alt as the primary modifier with the same keyboard combinations throughout. Alt+A to mute, Alt+V for video, Alt+S for sharing, identical on both platforms.
Most don't. Alt-based shortcuts are common in Linux DEs for window management, but the specific Zoom combinations (Alt+A, Alt+V, Alt+S, etc.) are generally not claimed by default DE configurations. If one isn't responding, check your DE's global shortcut settings.
