@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.

I'm using GNOME, but you can check the logs at ~/.zoom/logs/zoom_stdout_stderr.log to see if there are other errors in there.

Sadly not, as my colleague pointed out to me yesterday. :(

Yeah it doesn't for me either. I'm not entirely sure what's different about Smoerrebroed's setup.

Does this resolve the issue where you can't share individual windows, only the entire screen?

It should by all means. Happy sharing!

So with the symlink /usr/libexec --> /usr/lib and with Pipewire v1.0.7, I can currently use Zoom 6.1.1 with KDE/Plasma under Wayland.

The crash after ending screen share originate from an incompatibility with Pipewire v1.2.0. Downgrading to Pipewire v1.0.7 resolves the issue for now.

I was wondering why Zoom 6.0.10/6.0.12 also started crashing, since they worked for me quite reliably before. This post in the Zoom forum got me in the right direction.

I did an update to gnome/mutter and it broke zoom screen share. After stopping the screen share, zoom freezes. I tried 6.0.12, 6.1.0, and 6.1.1.

edit: Tested again the latest version on Xorg and it works fine. Problem appears to be only in Wayland.

edit2: Tested in wayland using env -u WAYLAND_DISPLAY XDG_SESSION_TYPE=xorg zoom and it also works (probably needs xorg-xwayland installed).

edit3: The above workaround prevents zoom from freezing/crashing, but the screen-share is messed up (it gets blacked out where there's no zoom window on the screen). On Xorg it seems to be working fine for now.

Nope, it still requires the workaround mentioned below.

I tried 6.1.1 and screen sharing still doesn't work for me.
