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.

Just updating my previous comment, where screen sharing did not work at all (KDE/Wayland). Now with the latest 6.2.0-1 I can at least screen share, although I am limited to sharing my whole desktop, and Zoom freezes when I stop screen sharing. Does the pipewire downgrade also fix being able to share individual windows?

(Again, @edh I think you should comment and pin it for future readers.)

When I select "Use system desktop capture" and hit "Share", nothing happens. I find this entry in zoom logs:

ListModel2<T, Key>::getItemIndex(): key not exists!

Rhinoceros commented on 2024-08-29 12:29 (UTC)

Hmmm, weird. No idea what the difference could be then. I have 3 computers running Arch with Wayland/KDE, and for all of them Zoom fails silently after I select something in the first dialogue. Frustrating!

VanClaussen commented on 2024-08-29 12:18 (UTC)

Yes, the dialog pops up as described by rakatan and if I confirm it, it will share all screens no matter what is selected. Ending the share does freeze the application, while the call remains active. I have to kill zoom and reopen afterwards.

Rhinoceros commented on 2024-08-29 11:49 (UTC)

Hm, but @VanClaussen, IIUC do you have screen sharing working somewhat, although you can't select exactly what to share, and it crashes? If so, that seems to be different to @rakatan and me, who can't even get past the first dialogue.

I ended up switching to i3 because it was not reliable on wayland. Hopefully that changes soon.

VanClaussen commented on 2024-08-29 10:49 (UTC)

I'm on KDE with Wayland as well. I hope this will get fixed soon.

rakatan commented on 2024-08-29 10:11 (UTC)

@Rhinoceros I'm on wayland too, using sway.

Rhinoceros commented on 2024-08-29 09:53 (UTC)

@rakatan I'm exactly the same. I can't get screen share to work at all after the first dialogue. IDK if it's our DE? I'm using Wayland (on KDE). What are other people using?
