I'm looking for help on how to write a little program that can quickly delete spam messages in Zoom meetings. As the host of a large open Narcotics Anonymous meeting, I sometimes face disruptive 'bombers' who flood the chat with inappropriate messages. I talked to Zoom support, and unfortunately, there's no built-in function to delete multiple messages at once. I was wondering if there's a way, maybe using a script on Windows, to automate the process of clicking on each message and hitting 'delete' quickly. I'm about to start a computer science degree, so any programming knowledge I gain now will definitely help. Once I create this tool, I'd like to share it with others who encounter the same issue. Any advice? Thanks!

You might want to check if Zoom has any APIs available for that. They could help you interact with messages programmatically, but I'm not sure how straightforward it is to use them for deletions. For some basic automation, consider using AutoHotKey. It allows you to create scripts for automating windows actions, which might be what you need to delete those messages fast.
An alternative could be accessing Zoom through a browser. By doing that, you can leverage JavaScript and CSS. As a beginner, you might find it's easier to write something in a browser environment, plus you can test your scripts quickly. Just make sure to check out the browser inspector to see how the chat messages are structured!
