@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.

Zoom crashes whenever I try to do a Share Screen. Just wondering if others are having the same issue. Could this be a bug worth reporting upstream?

Virtual backgrounds still not working for me. Every time I enable them my camera freezes and unfreezes if I disable them.

Adding 

[FEATURE]
SMARTVB=1

to ~/.config/zoom.conf.us did not fix the issue.

I would appreciate any suggestions.

Hey everyone. What do I actually need to include in the ~/.config/zoomus.conf file in order to get the settings to apply?

I've tried a few different ways but couldn't get it to work. I'm trying to disable login with google, facebook, sso and a few other settings. The configs for Windows are

nogoogle=1
nofacebook=1
nosso=1
login_domain=domain.com
FullScreenWhenJoin=1
DisableVirtualBkgnd=1
DisableVideoFilters=1

@fant0me Adding the section referenced in that support article to ~/.config/zoomus.conf worked for me!

Steps:

  1. Edit ~/.config/zoomus.conf using whatever text editor.
  2. Scroll to the bottom and add this section: 
[FEATURE]
SMARTVB=1

Restart zoom and viola! Backgrounds work flawlessly again. I tried this with blur, default backgrounds, and custom backgrounds. There are other issues with audio on the latest version so you might want to downgrade as well.

Virtual Backgrounds Zoom has a fix for virtual backgrounds not working listed on their website, although I cannot find the ZoomMedia.ini config file they are referring to. Maybe this is already enabled and I have the same problem as others have mentioned, but I have no way to confirm. Does anyone know where this file would be? I already tried /etc, and /opt/zoom, nor in ~/.zoom. Thanks in advance.

The version here (5.10.6) is coming from Zoom, but is actually newer than the latest version available on Zoom's download center (5.10.4.2845). It may be that 5.10.6 was withdrawn because of microphone problems (I also have no microphone input on 5.10.6).

kallok commented on 2022-05-11 08:56 (UTC)

After the latest 5.10.6-1 update, zoom no longer gets audio from my microphone. It can see my microphone, but the level bar in the audio settings doesn't move as I speak and no one can hear me. Other applications and pavucontrol can use and see my microphone without problems. I fixed this by downgrading to 5.10.4-1.

Did anybody manage to get screensharing working with sway? I get the message that screen sharing is only supported on [lots of distros], arch... but apparently not with sway? I am using xdg-desktop-portal with the xdg-desktop-portal-wlr backend.

mir commented on 2022-05-04 16:25 (UTC)

@bigcajun826: You were right, it works again if I turn the background feature off. Thanks for pointing this out!

edh commented on 2022-05-04 09:37 (UTC)

@Coelacanthus Can you please file an issue upstream so that zoom updates their package dependencies accordingly? It is hard for me to reason about the blackbox that zoom is especially considering that upstream says ibus is a hard dependency.
