@thuchuc, if you are a gnome user, then the problem is likely that zoom abuses the screensharing mechanism under wayland, and by default, gnome will not allow the security violation. The workaround is to use lookingglass (ALT-F2 --> lg) and set this variable to true in the console:
global.context.unsafe_mode = true
It works, but you have to do it every login.

Tested 6.2.0-1. Sharing works for me, but it still crashes after stopping. The workaround for me is still downgrading pipewire and libpipewire to 1.0.7 before meetings.

@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:qt5-webengine
installed, and theebeddedBrowserForSSOLogin
line doesn't exist in my configzoomus.conf
. SSO login works just fine (issues with Firefox containers aside).pipewire-pulse
.system.audio.type
defaulted toalsa
for me (or I changed it without realizing it). I probably could have installedpipewire-alsa
and fixed my issues, but I setsystem.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.edh commented on 2016-08-26 11:03 (UTC) (edited on 2017-03-09 10:48 (UTC) by edh)
