I know that zoom.us is not technically scriptable with Applescript but I have gotten so tired of repeatedly doing the same things when I set up a Zoom session that I started trying to automate the process using System Events and tell process. I was surprised by how much I could automate but then ran into a couple of brick walls. If anyone else is interested in this I'd like to brainstorm on the forum to see how much is possible. Here's some scripting steps I have been playing with. Part of what I decided to do in order to simplify the data entry involved in scheduling a new meeting and sending an email to the client was to run everything from Filemaker. The variables shows as $theMonth, $theDay, etc are being set in FileMaker before the Perform Applescript step so this is not a viable Applescript. You could use three separate Applescript dialog boxes to get the name date and time. The key code 48 is a tab to move between fields on the zoom interface. Key code 76 is the enter key which will OK the automatic entries in the Calendar so that I can quit Calendar and get back to zoom. There seems to be no way to stop zoom from automatically posting a new session in the Calendar. tell application "zoom.us" to activate tell application "System Events" tell process "zoom.us" repeat until window "Schedule Meeting" exists click menu item "Schedule Meeting..." of menu "Zoom.us" of menu bar 1 delay 0.2 end repeat set topicField to text field 1 of "Schedule Meeting" keystroke "Whatever You Want It To Be"" key code 48 keystroke $theMonth as text key code 48 keystroke $theDay as text key code 48 keystroke $theYear as text key code 48 keystroke $theHour as text key code 48 keystroke $theMinute as text key code 48 keystroke $theMonth as text key code 48 keystroke $theDay as text key code 48 keystroke $theYear as text key code 48 keystroke ($theHour + 1) as text key code 48 keystroke $theMinute as text Delay 2 key code 36 key code 76 key code 76 end tell end tell tell application "Calendar" to quit tell application "zoom.us" to activate tell application "System Events" tell process "zoom.us" repeat until window "Schedule Meeting" exists click menu item "Schedule Meeting..." of menu "Zoom.us" of menu bar 1 delay 0.2 end repeat select button ?????? end tell end tell The zoom.us interface for Meetings has what appear to be buttons for each scheduled meeting. I am trying to figure out how to select the right button so that I can then copy the invitation to put in an email. Tabbing does not let me select the button. If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them, and if my further experiments produce any results, I'll post them. Thanks

Where do I start if I want to write an application that lets me mask the output of the built-in camera on an iMac so that there is a certain amount of black on each side of the image that is sent to Zoom or Facetime? If I need to create a virtual webcam can I have complete control over its output?

Should it be possible to write an application that crops the output of the camera in an iMac so that what is sent to Zoom is a portrait rather than a landscape format?
