Tested 6.2.0-1. Sharing works for me, but it still crashes after stopping. The workaround for me is still downgrading pipewire and libpipewire to 1.0.7 before meetings.

@edh - That's not the answer I was hoping for (I was really hoping we could get it to launch without xwayland), but at least I know I'm not missing something.

Some ~/.config/zoomus.conf updates:

  • SSO Login: I don't have qt5-webengine installed, and the ebeddedBrowserForSSOLogin line doesn't exist in my config zoomus.conf. SSO login works just fine (issues with Firefox containers aside).
  • Audio: I am using Pipewire via pipewire-pulse. system.audio.type defaulted to alsa for me (or I changed it without realizing it). I probably could have installed pipewire-alsa and fixed my issues, but I set system.autio.type=pulse (a lucky guess) and this worked. This should work for anyone using straight PulseAudio as well.

If anyone finds documentation on ~/.config/zoomus.conf, please let us know.

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.

@Landarzar That's the same PKGBUILD as in the AUR.

The following PKGBUILD works for me.

pkgname=zoom
pkgver=6.2.3
_subver=2056
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Video Conferencing and Web Conferencing Service"
arch=('x86_64')
license=('LicenseRef-zoom')
url="https://zoom.us/"
depends=('fontconfig' 'glib2' 'libpulse' 'libsm' 'ttf-font' 'libx11' 'libxtst' 'libxcb'
    'libxcomposite' 'libxfixes' 'libxi' 'libxcursor' 'libxkbcommon-x11' 'libxrandr'
    'libxrender' 'libxshmfence' 'libxslt' 'mesa' 'nss' 'xcb-util-image'
    'xcb-util-keysyms' 'xcb-util-cursor' 'dbus' 'libdrm' 'gtk3' 'qt5-webengine' 'qt5-remoteobjects')
optdepends=('pulseaudio-alsa: audio via PulseAudio'
    'ibus: remote control'
    'picom: extra compositor needed by some window managers for screen sharing'
    'xcompmgr: extra compositor needed by some window managers for screen sharing')
options=(!strip)
source=("${pkgname}-${pkgver}.${_subver}_orig_x86_64.pkg.tar.xz"::"https://zoom.us/client/${pkgver}.${_subver}/zoom_x86_64.pkg.tar.xz")
sha512sums=('4a4610d6e06e6e1391b3738f159c19926cd80289baab20a3445e605a0e681f629b4db93439823188c3276073a2635d9878f6de06115bc648d67cf8ec96784039')

prepare() {
    sed -i 's/Zoom\.png/Zoom/g' "${srcdir}/usr/share/applications/Zoom.desktop"
    sed -i 's/StartupWMClass=Zoom/StartupWMClass=zoom/g' "${srcdir}/usr/share/applications/Zoom.desktop"
}

package() {
    cp -dpr --no-preserve=ownership opt usr "${pkgdir}"
}

Furthermore, under X (I am not using Wayland). I must run 

xcompmgr -c -o 0.1
to make Zoom screen sharing work.

Trying to open Zoom 6.2.3-1 (on a fully up-to-date system) gives me the following error:

/opt/zoom/zoom: symbol lookup error: /opt/zoom/zoom: undefined symbol: _ZNKSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEE2atEm, version Qt_5

I'm guessing this is some sort of incompatibility with the latest Qt version?

srijan commented on 2024-10-04 04:46 (UTC)

@sim31 - yes, it's reported and Zoom is aware of the issue and working on a fix. See https://community.zoom.com/t5/Zoom-Meetings/share-screen-linux-wayland-broken/m-p/203624/highlight/true#M112235

A fix is expected in the 6.2.5 release.

Downgraded zoom itself to 6.1.11-1 and got working sharing back.

==> ERROR: Failure while downloading https://cdn.zoom.us/prod/6.2.3.2056/zoom_x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

I downloaded the Linux version manually from https://zoom.us/download?os=linux, choosing "Linux Type" "Arch", "64-bit".

The download starts, the landing page after the download is completely broken for me (SSL errors?).

mv zoom_x86_64.pkg.tar.xz zoom-6.2.3.2056_orig_x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

those checksums don't match, called 'updpkgsums' (something you should really not do usually, because it defies the purpose of checking the integrity of the download tarball).

It seems to work then.

I'm thinking my issue is related with using pipewire instead of the pulseaudio libs. Can anyone confirm it works well using pipewire-pulse?

edh commented on 2024-10-01 09:00 (UTC)

@fobos2k There is no need for passive aggressive comments! They are entirely uncalled for. Deleting them doesn't hide them as people are still notified by email. I'll update the package once I'm done moving apartments (which should be no later than tomorrow).

Polly commented on 2024-10-01 08:41 (UTC)

As hinted by @fobos2k, there is an upstream update available: 6.2.3 (2056), but the screen share issue is not fixed. After adapting the PKGBUILD and installing Zoom 6.2.3-1, it still crashes when ending the screen share with

zoom 6.2.3-1 pipewire 1:1.2.3-1 libpipewire 1:1.2.3-1
