How to make a Python Zoom Link Menu
If you, like many attend online classes due to the COVID-19 pandemic, you may get tired of typing meeting ids, or finding links in emails.
The solution to this is some very basic python. I’ve done the hard work for you.
Ok, so we need to start by opening our editor and importing the modules:
We’ll be using rumps, which allows us to create the menubar and webbrowser, which will allow us to open the Zoom links in the user’s browser.
Next, we’ll make one of the menubar items.
We can replace “Math” with any text of your choice, and ‘link here’ with the zoom link (eg. https://us0.zoom.us/j/######).
Now, you can add as many of these as you want, leaving a line in between of them.
Once you’ve done this, you can now add a credit link, which is 100% optional.
It looks something like this, you can change the text after rumps.alert(‘text’)
Now, we’ll add the finishing touches, like the menu name.
In the first line, you can change “Classes” to whatever you want, no spaces and no emojis. ‘Title’ can be an emoji, or text. That’s what will show up in the menu bar.
That’s all! Download the source code from GitHub.
