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:

  • 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.

@yinyangkoi To be quite frank my best guess would be that what you observe is a spurious effect. Both packages provide the exact same files after all! Please refer to the PKGBUILD to validate that this package just repackages whatever is provided upstream.

Sharing screen doesn't crash anymore on 5.10.3-1, but when trying to enable the blured background, the camera would just freeze. I installed the package provided from the zoom website, and now the blurring works again.

@iRaS Calling the package simple is an overstatement. Since there is no source code available, it really just repackages what is available upstream. Thus, I think it is highly unlikely that the bug is related to the package/packaging itself. I would suggest filing a bug upstream to let the zoom folks know about your problem.

@yavko no, also the latest version has the same "feature". I'm wondering if that is an issue from zoom or from the package.

Can confirm the screen sharing is finally fixed in zoom-5.10.3-1.

Does anyone know if zoom still crashes when sharing screen on new version 5.10.3-1?

chovy commented on 2022-04-18 23:01 (UTC)

new version available.

@iRaS have you figured out how to fix the WM_CLASS thing? I have the same issue but the zoom app also doesn't use the correct icon anymore, I might try the flatpak to see if it fixes this. Btw I'm on gnome 42.

I have exactly the same problem @krmath is having: enabling the virtual background without a green screen results in either a frozen or a completely black video feed.

In addition, trying to share my screen results in Zoom freezing and requiring a restart.

I am running Zoom version 5.10.0-1 on Xorg and did not have a problem using virtual backgrounds or sharing my screen until recently. Any solution or workaround would be very welcome.
