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If there is a problem with the checksums, flag the package out-of-date at the top of the page.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.

It instructs QT apps to use Wayland and falling back to X11 if fails.

Unfortunately Webex still has tons of bugs with popups, in my case this env var fixes only empty chats.

What exactly do these two settings do? I already had QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb configured in /etc/profile.d/webex.sh. I did set both now, but I don't see any difference :(

This helped a little bit with some problems. But almost all issues that you mention still persist :(

export QT_QPA_PLATFORM="wayland-egl;xcb"

I'm using this with Wayland/Sway. And have multiple problems. Some are only annoying, some others make features unusable. Popups are acting weird for example (modals for threads or editing messages, the search popup on top, ...). And sometimes the shared screen of others flickers like hell.

Has anyone any idea where I can find help on that? Is there some docu on wayland/sway already? Or is there some forum that might be able to help?

Thanks in advance!

I've got no audio with the desktop client

> yay -Q webex-bin
webex-bin 42.1.0.21190-1

in Webex options -> Audio it says "No speaker detected", "No microphone detected".

everything works as expected using the browser, so I guess it is not related to my pipewire setup.

Sorry, looks like I have mistakenly flagged this package as out of date.

Actually, it looks like my signature database was corrupted. After a 'sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys' everything works fine again...

Appears to be an issue with Webex and not this AUR.

Webex is crashing after username in i3 for me. No Desk Env.

Webex crashed after entering the username on Manjaro KDE

Webex crashed after entering the username on KDE. It works fine on Gnome.
