AutoZoom

Automatically connect to Zoom meetings through a script. Inspired by this. If you have any problems or feature suggestions, please submit an issue.

Overview

Installation

Make sure you have Python3. Also, you'll need the following packages:

  • pyautogui
  • opencv

  • cron_descriptor (Linux only)

You can install this with the following commands):

Linux

Schedules (Linux only, Windows coming soon)

Basic Scheduling

You can use AutoZoom to schedule meetings following your own CRON schedule (Linux only) or based on days of the week and times.

usage: autozoom.py schedule [-h] [-f FIX_DROP_DOWN] [-a] [-V] [-v] [-n NAME]
                            [-p PASSWORD] [-r] (-c CRON | -dt DATETIME)

  id                    The id of the meeting to join

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -f FIX_DROP_DOWN, --fix-drop-down FIX_DROP_DOWN

                        know what you're doing. Linux only
  -dt DATETIME, --datetime DATETIME

Examples

Schedule meeting named 'Intro to Databases' on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday at 3:30 pm with id 123456789, password abcde6 and record:

python3 autozoom.py schedule 'Intro to Databases' 123456789 -p abcde6 -dt "mtru 3:30pm" -r

Unscheduling (WIP)

You can unschedule individual meetings or all meetings.

usage: autozoom.py unschedule [-h] schedulename

positional arguments:
  schedulename  The name of the schedule to remove. Use 'all' to remove all
                schedules., i.e. HIS101
Examples

Unschedule all meetings

python3 autozoom.py unschedule all

Unschedule a meeting named 'Introduction to Programming'

python3 autozoom.py unschedule 'Introduction to Programming'

Listing (WIP)

You can list all scheduled meetings.

usage: autozoom.py unschedule [-h] schedulename

positional arguments:
  schedulename  The name of the schedule to remove. Use 'all' to remove all
                schedules., i.e. HIS101

To list all scheduled meetings, run:

python3 autozoom.py list dummyid

Considerations

Due to this tool pressing buttons and looking from them on the computer screen, your system must be logged in and on.

Small Workarounds

Unsupported resolutions

If your resolution is not supported, you can go through and manually screenshot the Zoom components yourself:

  1. Create a folder named YOURWIDTHxYOURHEIGHT on Linux, YOURWIDTHxYOURHEIGHTwindows on Windows
  2. Look at the other folders pictures and capture the same components using a screen capture tool. (Windows+Shift+S works well for Windows)
  3. Name accordingly and place them in your folder from step 1. **Note that btnLeave.png is the blue button on the 'Invalid meeting id window'

Meeting ID Dropdown

Sometimes, if you use Zoom a lot, it will add a little 'V' to the meeting ID field. autozoom.py defaults to working with this. If you don't have it, you can join a bunch of meetings to get it.

Dual Monitors on Windows

Currently, dual monitor support for Windows does not work well. If you have 2 monitors, make sure Zoom starts on your primary one. Otherwise, Pyautogui is not able to locate the buttons

Upcoming Features

  • Autoscheduling meetings
  • Recording (quietly)
  • Better Resolution independence (Currently support 1920x1080, 1440x2560, 3840x2160)

To-do in this fork: (And, feel free to do it for me :p)
