@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.

@noctiluus: no solution for the black menu o far. @a172: how can I "have a screen at position 0,0"? I'm sorry, I don't know what that means. I thought that it might be related to the relative positions of my two displays, but I haven't found any arrangement that makes it works.

@daffydack - Make sure xwayland is installed. Even when running zoom natively in wayland, it is necessary for it to start up. I've seen this behavior in electron apps as well.

@juanignaciosl and @noctiluus - unfortunately, wonky menus are fairly common for qt applications (zoom is one) in wayland. A work around for them showing up in the wrong place is to make sure you have a screen at position 0,0. For the menu showing up, but the contents not being drawn, I have had luck with resizing the parent window, holding the mouse still for a few seconds over the button that opens the menu, and/or moving the mouse off of the menu and back on it. Some fiddling with those usually brings it up. It is very annoying, and just when I think I've figured out the correct incantation to make it work, it changes. Very annoying.

@juanignaciosl Do you know if there is a solution to the black menu error? I have that as well. From what I can tell, the menu is still operable, merely invisible. As when I scroll over it, it will populate a popup window. I've installed the upstream version, and it appears to have the same graphical error, as well.

@kriansa Thanks for the link, I will degrade ibus to an optional dependency with the next release.

@dmedinag I believe gst-plugin-pipewire is only an indirect dependency and not strictly required by zoom itself. Please correct me if I am wrong about this!

@edh: According to this thread, ibus is only required for remote control. Would you be willing to turn ibus into a optional dependency?

Screenshare did not work for me (Gnome-wayland) until I installed gstreamer's plugin for pipewire.

Installing gst-plugin-pipewire fixed the issue. Should this be added as a dependency?
