Easily accessing key controls during a session is important, whether it's muting or pausing the session easily to let someone bring up something important or even to toggle in and out of fullscreen mode. Many of the shortcuts below are already used in applications you already use.


Sound toggle

Easily mute or unmute the session at a click of a button. To toggle sound on or off:

  • ⌨️ Press [S] on your keyboard

  • 🖱️ Click [Sound On/Off 🔊] with your mouse

  • 📱 Tap [🔊] on the host controls


Fullscreen toggle

With fullscreen, immerse participants into the full experience, losing the Makeshapes chrome on the left and top. To toggle fullscreen on and off:

  • ⌨️ Press [F] on your keyboard

  • 🖱️ Click [Fullscreen On/Off 🔲] with your mouse


Caption toggle

Some videos contain closed captions to support participants who may need it. To toggle captions on and off:

  • 🖱️ Click [Captions On/Off [CC]] with your mouse and choose your desired language.

  • 📱 Tap [CC] on the host controls and choose your desired language.

Note: At this stage, the captions are only available on the videos.


Pause

Pausing the session may be important to give participants a break or a time to discuss. To pause or unpause the session:

  • ⌨️ Press [P] or [SPACEBAR] on your keyboard

  • 🖱️ Click [PAUSE ⏸️] with your mouse

  • 📱 Tap [⏸️ ] on the host controls

Note: You can click anywhere on the video with your mouse for a quick pause experience. Learn more about Pausing an Experience here.
