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.

@edh thanks for the suggestion -- I checked and already have pipewire-alsa installed.

@joaocandre,@TripleSpeeder Can you try installing pipewire-alsa? Zoom runs just fine for me but I do have pipewire-alsa installed (which provides pulseaudio-alsa).

@cbrake I got the exact same issue. Please let us know if you find a fix for this...

I'm using pipewire getting the pacmd: command not found error mentioned by @urbanslug, but can't install pulseaudio-utils because it isn't available anymore. pacmd is only provided by pulseaudio package which I'm unable to install as it conflicts with pipewire. Is downgrading the only known solution for this? Because I assume previous versions also used pulseaudio and therefore would still rely on pacmd?

I also have no ~/.config/zoomus.conf, and can only get anything out of zoom if I delete ~/.zoom completely before running from the command line.

My setup:

• MSI Prestige with a i7-1195G7
• Intel graphics
• Wayland
• Pipewire audio

If I clean ~/.zoom, Zoom starts up and works fine (when not logged in).

If I try to log in, Zoom starts and I see a spinner saying "loading sidebar" and then zoom stops.

Logs are not very helpful:

Appreciate any thoughts on how to debug/fix this.

@zeynepseda bsdtar is not invoked directly in the PKGBUILD. I think your makepkg instance is misconfigured.

I am getting error when trying to update my zoom package in manjaro bsdtar: Option --no-read-sparse is not supported Usage: List: bsdtar -tf <archive-filename> Extract: bsdtar -xf <archive-filename> Create: bsdtar -cf <archive-filename> [filenames...] Help: bsdtar --help ==> ERROR: Failed to create package file. -> error making: zoom-exit status 5 -> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required: zoom - exit status 5 error

I've got the same issue as @neuronestanco and google hasn't been forthcoming.

Running GNOME / Wayland, attempting to open any of the in-call menus (e.g. "View" or the caret "^" menus beside the mic/camera icons) only works occasionally. Sometimes the menu appears to open but then quickly disappears entirely, other times the menu will be visible with no text. Usually if I click enough times I can get a functional menu to appear.

The only hint I have here is the following in the Zoom log, and I have no idea if it's normal:

QBasicTimer::start: Timers cannot have negative timeouts

To the maintainer and people who are running wayland and have an Nvidia graphics card the current version (5.14.10-1) is broken. The solution I had was to downgrade to zoom-5.14.7-1. For reference look at:

Please, there is a problem with the "view" window on the top left; it is necessary to click many times before the choice menu for the type of visualization appears
