Customising your Merlyn Origin Shortcuts

You can create shortcuts to links for your favourite sites, and assign them to remote buttons all within in our Teacher Toolkit!

Your Origin remote is pre-programmed with three shortcuts:

	Takes a full page screenshot of your current computer screen
	Opens Google Drive

Creating new shortcuts:

1. Click Create a Shortcut in the upper right hand corner.

2. In the pop-up window, choose Link from the drop down.

3. Enter easy-to-remember voice requests for your new shortcut, as well as the full URL (http or https is required), and choose a numbered shortcut button to use for your link (optional). 

4. Click Create Shortcut at the bottom of that window to save! 

Editing shortcuts:

1. Click on the "pencil" icon to the right of the shortcut you would like to edit. 

2. Make your changes, and click Save at the bottom of the window. 

*Note: Clicking either Cancel or anywhere outside of the shortcut overlay will cancel any changes.

Deleting shortcuts:

In the lower Voice Shortcuts section, click the small 🗑️ icon to the right of the shortcut you want to remove, and click Delete in the confirmation overlay:
