Scroll down a window only when there are new messages?

01 Oct 2021, 20:48

I notice a mini bug with Zoom's Q&A window box. When there are new questions posted, the window doesn't scroll down automatically to show the newest question. Is there a way to Scroll down a window only when there are new messages?

You can try to use Image Search to detect any sort of notification at a particular location and then WheelDown

it won't work if the window is in the background though.

you mean the image (and by extension the Q&A window) will be in the background ?

But don't you have to go to that window to see the new messages ?

So then it comes to the foreground right ?

so the scenario is that I'm recording a webinar in the background (which includes the Q&A window), hence it will be unattended, i.e. in the background while I'm doing other stuff.

I see

Is it possible to send WheelDown to a background window ?

Like it will be constantly active irrespective of new messages.

When a new message is shown it will scroll
