Make Macro to Copy and Then Paste a File in a Zoom Window?

Questions & Suggestions
1

During zoom training, I often copy the same training PDF and paste it into the Zoom window (as a file to upload) for the participants. How can I make this into one macro? Thanks so much!

Can you share what you have so far

3

I'm afraid I don't have anything. I'm not sure how to do this.

4

ok, so, can you list down the steps that you do to share the file?

Ah yes. Gotcha.

I head to a folder and "copy" a specific PDF.
I reopen Zoom and "paste" the PDF to the chat (which uploads it to users).

I'm looking for a way to do a keystroke that does these two steps.

I think you only need these two actions:
It reads a file, copies it to your clipboard and then pastes it:

Uploading macro example, Trigger it with F1.
Uploaded in a disabled state, enable for it to work.

Thanks for this. I'm getting the following, but the file isn't actually pasting:

that's keyboard's maestro "Conflict Palette", it means you used the same shortcut in Two macros.
Either

  • assign a different shortcut to one of them, or,
  • type P to run the 1st macro, or type S to run the second one.

Thanks for this. One issue: Running the macro as written pastes a "PastedGraphic.tiff," rather than the actual PDF file.
