Question

Shortcut Shift+Ctrl+C is interfering with my work

Hello, my friends!

I have been using Zoom for a short time, but there is something that is bothering me. I use Word a lot to write texts, as I work in journalism, and every time I execute the shortcut "Ctrl + Shift + C" in Word (which is a very common shortcut in Word and one that I use frequently), the Zoom window for screen recording opens and I cannot execute the command in Word. In other words, Zoom has the same command as Word. However, even with Zoom closed, when I try to execute this command in Word, I am prevented because the computer understands that the command is for Zoom, not for Word.

I would like you to help me go into Zoom settings and change this command, please, as it is greatly hindering my work!

Not sure which version of Zoom you are using. The latest version 6.1.1 uses Ctrl+Alt+C to record a new clip and it is only global if it has been checked. Ctrl+Shift+C is not used in the latest version of Zoom.

Ctrl-Shift-C is definitely used now, not Ctrl-Alt-C.

Yes, you can reassign the shortcut in Zoom to avoid the conflict. Here’s how you can do it:

  1. Open the Zoom desktop client and sign in to your account.
  2. Click on your profile picture, then click Settings.
  3. In the settings window, select the Keyboard Shortcuts tab.
  4. Look for the shortcut that’s causing the conflict, such as “Start/Stop Local Recording” or another related to clip recording.
  5. Click on the shortcut and press a new key combination to reassign it.

After you’ve reassigned the shortcut in Zoom, the Ctrl+Shift+C should work as intended in other applications for copying styles or other functions. Remember to choose a combination that isn’t already in use by another application to avoid future conflicts.

This is happening to me in Chrome. I do not have the zoom desktop app. Can anyone help. I cannot access the short cut settings in zoom.

Thank you, needed this. Nothing should be global by default.

This interfered with an important command in AutoCAD as well. I'll reiterate the above. "Nothing should be global by default."

It interferes with my work as well. I agree with the others, users should be at least notified once such a feature is introduced. I clearly wasn't, it occured automatically at some point. Bad job.

Problem here too, it's a shortcut for commenting/uncommenting lines of code in RStudio. Thanks for the help to fix it, also unchecked all global shortcuts from zoom via that menu.

It interferes with my work as well - This is incredibly intrusive. Global shortcuts should be off by default
