This is to solve an issue where you use a non-apple european keyboard with the US keyboard layout in macOS where the Tilde key is in the wrong place.

This is the process for the Logitec MX Keys Mini

Connect the keyboard (bluetooth)
Make sure the keyboard is in PC mode (hold fn + p for 3 seconds)
Go through the keyboard wizard and at the end select the European ISO... layout
Switch the keyboard to Mac mode (hold fn + o for 3 seconds)
Tilde should work

If this doesn't work:

Transform your smartphone (e.g., Iphone, Samsung, Motorola, etc) camera in a WebCam to make video conference (e.g., Google Meeting, Zoom, Discord, etc).

Setup

Install an app IP camera in your smarthphone

Examples:

Apple store https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ipcamera-high-end-networkcam/id570912928
Google play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pas.webcam&hl=en

Autofs on Mac OS X

With autofs you can easily mount network volumes upon first access to the folder where you want to mount the volume. Autofs is available for many OS and is preinstalled on Mac OS X so I show you how I mounted my iTunes library folder using this method.

Prepare autofs to use a separate configuration file

autofs needs to be configured so that it knows where to gets its configuration. Edit the file /etc/auto_master and add the last line:

#
# Automounter master map
#

+auto_master # Use directory service
