Setup - Zoom OSC with XP24

Zoom OSC with XP24:

Use Zoom OSC with our XP24 to have everything at your fingertips 

We have created a Zoom OSC configuration for our XP24 panel. This means that everything is taken care of. By standard it's set up to auto populate, meaning that as users join the call they will be assigned a button, and from there you have full individual control and can toggle mute, video, and if the attendee is in spotlight or pinned. 


We have made it easy to change settings for all your attendees by making dynamic user commands.
