@Rhinoceros - I finally got screen sharing to work under KDE with Wayland. Looks like I'm using the same versions as you:

  • Zoom 6.2.10
  • pipewire 1.2.6

I followed the Screen share section on the Zoom wiki page:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Zoom_Meetings

The only thing I didn't need to do was set XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=gnome. I followed the other steps, and now I can choose my desktop/window to share. Prior to following the wiki I couldn't stop screen sharing without the hanging issue, which I was experiencing prior to 6.2.10.

I contacted the zoom support on 13th July 2016 and tried to lure them into creating a proper PKGBUILD respectively adopting this one, considering they are providing a package over very none standard ways to the Arch Linux community (downloading via a *foreign* site) and not through the official repo or the AUR. However there was little to no progress so far.

@YonatanB Added dependency. Thanks.

@edh It seems like there's a missing dependency on xcb-util-wm now after moving the qt5 dependencies to optdepends.

edh: Thanks for removing the dependency on qt5-webengine. However, I think you should have increased pkgrel.

@post-factum,@oech3 Thank you for the ping! I think all of qt is bundled with the package. I'll move both to optdepends just in case people are running into issues without it.

EDIT: the package no longer depends on qt5-webengine but I didn’t increase the pkgrel to avoid a needless update for most users.

webengine is bundled, safe to remove (or move to optdeps).

JFYI, qt5-webengine is going to be dropped from Arch repos: https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/arch-dev-public@lists.archlinux.org/thread/U45C4RAW4IXVLO376XGFNLEGGFFXCULV/

@djshiye I finally got screen sharing working in KDE/Wayland with this zoom package.

I had previously read the wiki, but can't remember which bits I changed. The final part that fixed it for me was running systemctl --user restart plasma-xdg-desktop-portal-kde.service. Although my other Arch system didn't require this.

You can also test if screen sharing is working generally in Wayland/etc. at https://mozilla.github.io/webrtc-landing/gum_test.html

Screen sharing still seems to be broken on Zoom and also Slack for me. I tried the pinned approach and it didn't work..

edit: using the flatpak version with flatseal, and disabling wayland works!!!

@joeyeamigh, I tried your patch, but it didn't work.

I also noticed that the initially-started zoom process starts another zoom child process, which has the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to /opt/zoom/Qt/lib:/opt/zoom/cef:/opt/zoom. This should remove the need to reconfigure the dynamic linker, which is what your patch does.

I noticed that ZoomWebviewHost wasn't able to find libcef.so or libffmpeg.so. Adding this patch seemed to fix it:

Would including it be useful?
