I use zoom with pipewire with no issues, and I've not run into that error with pacmd either. I have the following pipewire packages installed:
gst-plugin-pipewire 1:0.3.51-1
libpipewire02 0.2.7-2
pipewire 1:0.3.51-1
pipewire-alsa 1:0.3.51-1
pipewire-pulse 1:0.3.51-1
wireplumber 0.4.10-3
And the following pulse packages installed:
libpulse 15.0-4
pipewire-pulse 1:0.3.51-1
xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin 0.4.3-2
HTH
Does anyone have a positive experience with running zoom with pipewire instead of pulseaudio? When I run it I get “sh: line 1: pacmd: command not found”. However, pacmd is provided only by the pulseaudio base package and is absent in pipewire-pulseaudio. Am I missing some option to force zoom to use pipewire?
@nursoda Yes, this is an upstream error and no it can not be fixed in the PKGBUILD with any amount of work that could be considered reasonable because they only ship binary packages.
Zoom used to create './cache/zoom/'; since a while, it creates and uses './cache/zoom\ /'. Is that an upstream error? Could it be corrected in the PKGBUILD?
Mic works fine for me before and after update to 5.10.6. I'm using pulseaudio (only): I uninstalled pipewire after I got bitten by https://archlinux.org/news/undone-replacement-of-pipewire-media-session-with-wireplumber/
After updating to 5.10.6, none of my system microphones produces an output. Using pulseaudio. Works properly when downgraded to 5.10.4.
After the most recent update, when connected to a meeting, as soon as I connect a bluetooth audio device, Zoom crashes. Have others been having a similar issue?
Similar, but a bit different. When I try to select my bluetooth headphones in my zoom speaker settings, it blares a loud static noise that doesn't end until I quit zoom or disconnect my headphones. I'm using pipewire.

Zoom crashes whenever I try to do a Share Screen. Just wondering if this is a bug worth reporting upstream or if this is a local problem.

@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.
