Arch Linux User Repository

@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.

@HighValueWarrior Could you please tell us if the screen share issues are fixed in the flatpak version?

Unable to login and launch zoom. Login from any browser is fine, but none will launch. Downloaded flatpak and working perfectly. Logic would dictate somehting missing or broken.

With the the 6.3.1 version, I am able to share my full screens on Wayland, but am unable to share a single window still. It attempts to share, but the result is just a black window.

This isn't an elegant solution, but until I see/find/hear something else resolving the issue properly or figure out what in my setup is causing this, here's a workaround I've been using to get single window sharing:

XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME DESKTOP_SESSION= XDG_SESSION_TYPE= zoom

Setting these environment variables seems to force Zoom to work with the old X window sharing methods, even in Wayland. I don't know if this only works on non-native apps, or what, but I can share individual windows. (I cannot share full screen, funny enough, but for my every day use cases I don't need it.)

Hello , sorry for the noise which i made , looks like it was based on a wrongly downloaded package source on my system caused all this :

The download URL as of 2025-01-02 at https://zoom.us/download is https://zoom.us/client/6.3.1.5673/zoom_x86_64.pkg.tar.xz . The URL without the cdn prefix which you are trying to query is different from the one in the PKGBUILD. Note, theclient/ versus prod/ in the URL. The user @AloisP needs to prune their build directory as zoom does not allow for resuming downloads. This issue is distinct from yours. I am afraid I have to agree with @cyberpunkrocker , the issue is likely with your network configuration.

@usta: I live way out outside of US and never had any issues downloading the zoom sources using the URL provided by the PKGBUILD.

I suspect that you have severe networking issues on your end: maybe your ISP, or your DNS-of-choice is blocking something it shouldn't.

6.3.1 is showing the UI under XOrg / XFCE again, yay. Successfully did the test meeting with audio and video but didn't try more advanced features.

zoom 6.3.1 itself seems to work... But there are massive segfaults like

kernel: ZoomWebviewHost[99640]: segfault at 19 ip 00007e3c5b59bdb4 sp 00007e3c36ffaa70 error 6 in libcef.so[8d9adb4,7e3c54cb7000+b156000] likely on CPU 1 (core 1, socket 0)
