You can easily access all interactive elements in the room:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Navigate between elements:<\/strong> Use the <strong>Tab key<\/strong> to move sequentially through all clickable elements such as buttons, links, and interactive windows.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Navigate backward:<\/strong> With <strong>Shift + Tab<\/strong>, you can jump back to the previous element.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A list of keyboard shortcuts available specifically for participants can be found further down in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For Presenters: Flexible Content Control<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Content control has also been optimized for presenters. There are now two convenient ways to control a presentation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Control with arrow keys (after activation):<\/strong> You can control your presentation as usual with the <strong>left and right arrow keys<\/strong>. To do this, you must first click once inside the presentation area with your mouse to activate it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Alternative control (always available):<\/strong> Regardless of which element in the room is currently active, you can always navigate through your slides using the <strong>Page Up<\/strong> and <strong>Page Down<\/strong> keys. This works even if you are typing in the chat or using another feature.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Overview of Keyboard Shortcuts in the Room<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also view this list at any time directly within the webinar room.
