@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.

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 It may be that 5.10.6 was withdrawn because of microphone problems (I also have no microphone input on 5.10.6).

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.

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

@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.

Coelacanthus commented on 2022-05-04 06:34 (UTC) 

zoom /opt/zoom/platforminputcontexts/libfcitxplatforminputcontextplugin.so
zoom /opt/zoom/platforminputcontexts/libibusplatforminputcontextplugin.so

Zoom now has both IBus and Fcitx input method modules, so ibus is not necessary, users can use fcitx/fcitx5 as the input method (available in actual measurement). So you can remove ibus from a strong dependency, or move it to an optional dependency, and add fcitx and fcitx5 as optional dependencies at the same time.

@bigcajun826 Regarding the comments: Both (Pulseaudio and SSO login) still seem relevant to me. Is there a specific reason why you think otherwise?

bigcajun826 commented on 2022-05-03 21:49 (UTC)

@mir Do you happen to use the "blur background" feature? If so, try turning that off and see if your camera works again. For me, it seems to be hit-or-miss since the 5.10.x versions of Zoom. Sometimes I can use the blur background feature, sometimes it exhibits symptoms similar to you (black screen, frozen image)

After updating (pacman -Syu and updating zoom), my webcam stopped working in zoom. The webcam works fine for other applications, zoom detects it (but then shows a black picture) and picks up the microphone of the webcam. It is a Logitech, Inc. HD Pro Webcam C920.

Last good version is 5.9.6-1, first bad 5.10.0-1.

UPDATE: Found that it works when I turn the background feature off.

BTW, does it still make sense to pin the two comments from 2020?
