@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.

Has anyone figured out how to make zoom forcibly run in x11 if the rest of the session is in wayland or a way to get screen share to work in wayland (and not using OBS camera workaround)?

Using KDE and wayland and I have tried QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb though it seemingly makes no difference for me

EDIT: I got it working from terminal but I cannot get it to work by editing the desktop file. (although I guess that gets overwritten if I get a zoom update). From terminal this works: QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 nohup zoom %U &; disown

EDIT2: apparently it did not work as it seems to work from my side however then people in the meeting reports that the share was just a black screen even though the preview before share on my side was showing correctly.

@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.

@a172 That is actually a great question because I did not restart sway and solely relied on lsof -d DEL | awk "\$8~/\/usr\/lib/ { print \$NF }" to check for loaded but now deleted libraries. Since none were shown I assumed I had no program using xorg-xwayland and I could avoid exiting sway. However, if I do restart sway, zoom does not work :(

I will add xorg-xwayland to the dependencies list.

a172 commented on 2022-06-07 21:34 (UTC)

@edh - dumb question, but did you exit and restart Sway after uninstalling xorg-wayland? If so, what are your relevant env vars? Something like env | grep -ie wayland -e qt. Here's mine (minus a few irrelevant ones):

CLUTTER_BACKEND=wayland
ECORE_EVAS_ENGINE=wayland-egl
ELM_ENGINE=wayland_egl
MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland-egl
SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland
WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland

@drybalka,a172 I can uninstall xorg-xwayland and zoom still works for me. I am running sway and use no special configuration for zoom.

drybalka commented on 2022-06-07 08:42 (UTC)

@a172 Thank you for the insight! This solved my issue and now Zoom works again. I needed to have xwayland after all (and probably to also set the environment variable QT_QPA_PLATFORM="wayland;xcb") or zoom simply would not start. Maybe it can be added to the dependencies somehow?

a172 commented on 2022-06-06 20:37 (UTC)

@drybalka - even when Zoom is running natively in Wayland, it still need XWayland to start up. I've seen a few other apps with similar behavior. If anyone has insight on how to get native Wayland apps to run without XWayland, I'm all ears.

Was getting a Core Dump when starting Zoom: 

zoom[2733] trap int3 ip:62813b9285a5 sp:7e9710e216a0 error:0 in libcef.so
systemd-coredump[3170]: [🡕] Process 3161 (zoom) of user 1000 dumped core.

Zoom Log ( ~/.zoom/logs/zoom_stdout_stderr.log) shows: 

FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(158)] The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that /opt/zoom/cef/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.

I did what it says and Zoom is working again: 

chmod 4755 /opt/zoom/cef/chrome-sandbox
chown root:root /opt/zoom/cef/chrome-sandbox

Are there issues with doing what it says?

@sameer Indeed, after symlinking I do not get any relevant error info anymore - zoom just does not start at all with an error "zoom was exited due to a handled signal: 5". Any ideas? =)

does anyone have a positive experience running zoom with pipewire on wayland (sway, in particular)?

@drybalka

Yes -- I am running Sway + Pipewire + Zoom with no issues.

The pacmd not found error is because pipewire-pulse does not provide pacmd but does provide pactl. You can just symlink /usr/bin/pacmd to /usr/bin/pactl to get rid of the warning. This works because pactl is a subset of operations supported in pacmd, and Zoom does not need any options other than those in pactl (AFAIK).

It is not a big deal though, Zoom worked fine for me even if it couldn't find pacmd.
