Hi community, I did take over maintenance for this package, since I need it for work. It's my first package here on the AUR, so please be forgiving for any mistakes.

If there is a problem with the checksums, flag the package out-of-date at the top of the page. I'll update the PKGBUILD as soon as possible.

The Webex App for Linux does not support all features. In particular, virtual backgrounds and screen/app sharing under Wayland are missing. Check this page for official information: https://help.webex.com/en-us/article/9vstcdb/Webex-App-for-Linux

If you experience a black screen in the login process, try to launch the app with

WAYLAND_DISPLAY='' /opt/Webex/bin/CiscoCollabHost

If the Webex app does not run at all or crashes after a short time, you can try to run it like this:

QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb /opt/Webex/bin/CiscoCollabHost

Hi there,

I am on Manjaro Linux 25.1.0 and wanted to install webex-bin from here. The installation throws an checksum error:

Building webex-bin... ==> Making package: webex-bin 45.10.0.33234-1 (Fr 12 Dez 2025 09:38:34 CET) ==> Checking runtime dependencies... ==> Checking buildtime dependencies... ==> Retrieving sources... -> Found webex-bin-45.10.0.33234.deb -> Found webex.xml ==> Validating source files with sha256sums... webex-bin-45.10.0.33234.deb ... FAILED webex.xml ... Passed ==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check! Failed to build webex-bin

Could it be corrected ?

Thanks in advance.

Hello team. Good day. Do not execute webex with the regular desktop icon or execution command it will not let you login in and when executed will close after a few clicks or types. I open the app using this command: env QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb /opt/Webex/bin/CiscoCollabHost

I do not have issues. The only thing is that the version used is not the latest one and I cannot share screen in meetings or take screenshots from the chats. However it works without problem.

@rflrkn starting it up with WAYLAND_DISPLAY='' /opt/Webex/bin/CiscoCollabHost I get the following error:

Wx: X error received: type 0, serial 9, error_code 3, request_code 12, minor_code 0
Wx: X error received: type 0, serial 10, error_code 3, request_code 8, minor_code

@carmik @cycl0ne That's a known bug with Webex running under Wayland. Setting the WAYLAND_DISPLAY environment variable usually fixes this issue.

WAYLAND_DISPLAY='' /opt/Webex/bin/CiscoCollabHost

@carmik: same for me, enter emil adress : black screen no login possible. -> Cachyos with Wayland

carmik commented on 2025-11-07 18:33 (UTC)

Just reporting that on KDE/Wayland/standard Linux kernel it opens, but does not allow to enter meeting id. Also trying to login, my login name is accepted, but then I'm presented with an empty screen.

Switching to KDE/X11 everything works perfectly.

As the support in general for Linux seems to not interest big companies like Cisco and Microsoft (WebEx and Teams is being used on my end for my company) I actually just use Brave browser and the PWAs of both. Background effects working fine on both...

OK, thanks for the infor @BarkleyIII. FYI, obs-backgroundremoval works well with webex in the meantime. (See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/V4l2loopback#Using_a_background_image_in_video_conferencing)

@darose it looks like that is not supported by the Linux release (see Coming soon) https://help.webex.com/en-us/article/9vstcdb/Webex-App-for-Linux#Cisco_Concept.dita_bf52af8b-96ef-46c1-9b08-368ca4b65cd3
