@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.

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.

webengine is bundled, safe to remove (or move to optdeps).

JFYI, qt5-webengine is going to be dropped from Arch repos: https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/arch-dev-public@lists.archlinux.org/thread/U45C4RAW4IXVLO376XGFNLEGGFFXCULV/

@djshiye I finally got screen sharing working in KDE/Wayland with this zoom package.

I had previously read the wiki, but can't remember which bits I changed. The final part that fixed it for me was running systemctl --user restart plasma-xdg-desktop-portal-kde.service. Although my other Arch system didn't require this.

You can also test if screen sharing is working generally in Wayland/etc. at https://mozilla.github.io/webrtc-landing/gum_test.html

Screen sharing still seems to be broken on Zoom and also Slack for me. I tried the pinned approach and it didn't work..

edit: using the flatpak version with flatseal, and disabling wayland works!!!

@joeyeamigh, I tried your patch, but it didn't work.

I also noticed that the initially-started zoom process starts another zoom child process, which has the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to /opt/zoom/Qt/lib:/opt/zoom/cef:/opt/zoom. This should remove the need to reconfigure the dynamic linker, which is what your patch does.

I noticed that ZoomWebviewHost wasn't able to find libcef.so or libffmpeg.so. Adding this patch seemed to fix it:

Would including it be useful?

Ok, so, this is the conflict resolution path provided as a follow up for those with the same issue.

  • Nothing specific to my host. This seems to be a typical case of a split package with a double dependency, one belonging to the old version of zoom and a new one belonging to the new package.

Workaround:

> sudo pacman -R zoom zoom-libs && makepkg -sric

HTH

Upon updating Zoom from 6.5.11-2 to 6.6.0-1, I get an file conflict:

Is that a known issue or something ultra specific to the host at hand ? Tx.

@gromit, here are examples to reproduce the error:

  1. Start Zoom.
  2. At the top of the Zoom main window, click on "Workflows".
  3. The error is in the middle of the window.

Another way:

  1. Start Zoom.
  2. At the top of the Zoom main window, click on "Team Chat".
  3. At the left bar, click on "External".
  4. At the top, click on "Contact requests".
  5. The error is in the middle of the window.

@koutheir could you send more detailed reproduction steps? Where can I open the webview?
