Virtual backgrounds still not working for me. Every time I enable them my camera freezes and unfreezes if I disable them.
Adding
[FEATURE]
SMARTVB=1
to ~/.config/zoom.conf.us
did not fix the issue.
I would appreciate any suggestions.

Hey everyone. What do I actually need to include in the ~/.config/zoomus.conf
file in order to get the settings to apply?
I've tried a few different ways but couldn't get it to work. I'm trying to disable login with google, facebook, sso and a few other settings. The configs for Windows are
nogoogle=1
nofacebook=1
nosso=1
login_domain=domain.com
FullScreenWhenJoin=1
DisableVirtualBkgnd=1
DisableVideoFilters=1
@fant0me Adding the section referenced in that support article to ~/.config/zoomus.conf
worked for me!
Steps:
~/.config/zoomus.conf
using whatever text editor.[FEATURE]
SMARTVB=1
Restart zoom and viola! Backgrounds work flawlessly again. I tried this with blur, default backgrounds, and custom backgrounds. There are other issues with audio on the latest version so you might want to downgrade as well.
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 It may be that 5.10.6 was withdrawn because of microphone problems (I also have no microphone input on 5.10.6).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.
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.

@Rhinoceros - I finally got screen sharing to work under KDE with Wayland. Looks like I'm using the same versions as you:
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.
