A Zoom utility for the terminal
Project description
Zoomy - a Zoom utility for the terminal
Made with Python, April 2020.
Created by Kewbish.
Available on PyPi as Zoomy.
Released under the GPLv3 License.
Issues are welcome!
:camera: Why Zoomy?
For the developer, the power user, the student who's just tired of going through countless emails to find a link, then flip through for passwords, and finally try to join the call.
Zoomy is for you. Quick to use, light, and besides, cool automation.
Also works in signed-out mode - just in case (like me) you don't want to give Zoom your personal information!
:movie_camera: Usage
Run zoomy [alias]
to open your alias
meeting. For example, zoomy math
to open your math meeting.
Run zoomy add [alias] [confno] [pwd]
or zoomy a [alias] [confno] [pwd]
to add a meeting called alias
with the conference number confno
and the password pwd
. Adding a password is optional. Your meetings cannot be called add
or delete
(or a
/ d
). This option can also be used to edit currently saved meetings.
Run zoomy delete [alias]
or zoomy d [alias]
to delete your alias
meeting. For example, zoomy d math
to delete your math meeting.
Run zoomy list
or zoomy l
to list all your available meetings.
:wrench: Installation
Install via PyPi by running pip install zoomy
. This requires Python to be installed.
Alternatively, build from source by running the setup.py
after downloading the ZIP.
:gear: How it works
Zoom actually comes with a custom URL scheme, most of which is technically deprecated, but still works well.
Your conference number is passed in from a saved configuration file, and passed to the URL, which is then started with your system's equivalent of start
.
It simplifies the process of remembering all those links and passwords, especially if you don't use Zoom signed in or if you don't keep passwords saved.
:warning: - This does expose your meeting IDs and passwords (if you choose to supply them), and it is possible, if a hacker decided, to
grep
your entire system for a.zmy
file and infiltrate your meeting. Use at your own risk.
:warning: - This also doesn't support passwords with commas in them, due to how the passwords are retrieved. In that case, save only the conference number, and manually enter the password.
