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.

@kelen

Please read the previous comments on this exact topic!

May be we should change the ibus from depends to optdepends.

@kleini Zoom is a dead simple package to maintain since they do not provide the means to build the package so I think I'll be fine. Thanks for the offer though.

@edh If you like to get help with upgrades, you can add me please as a co-maintainer?

I could solve my problem, for some reason the autoadjust for the microphone volume has put the volume of the USB webcam's microphone to zero...

Wayland Zoom screen sharing doesn't seem to work under Gnome 41 anymore!?

Edit: Okay just found this: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/4665#note_1283742

So either Zoom fixes it on their side, or as a workaround set global.context.unsafe_mode = true via Alt-F2.

PhotonX commented on 2021-11-05 12:03 (UTC)

After some update Zoom stopped recognizing the microphone from the USB webcam. In other applications the microphone works, Pulseaudio settings also show the input signal correctly.

I tried the solution from the pinned comment, that is, setting system.audio.type=alsa, but it didn't help. Zoom works with an old analog mic though.

Any ideas what I could try? Thanks!

@harpium If you are using Wayland then currently there is no fix for this. Zoom under Wayland can only share the entire screen or the whiteboard according to the Zoom official support.

harpium commented on 2021-10-22 05:24 (UTC)

I'm only able to share my entire screen and not specific windows on Manjaro GNOME. Does anyone know a fix to this?

I'm in agreement with @openmindead regarding the ibus requirement. As it is not explicitly required by Zoom for functionality (only specified as such in the .deb packaging) it should be made an optional dependency since it's likely that those needing ibus for alternate character input will already have it installed but those who don't are just burdened by an unnecessary extra install.

Proposed change to PKGBUILD:

depends=('fontconfig' 'glib2' 'libpulse' 'libsm' 'ttf-font' 'libx11' 'libxtst' 'libxcb'
    'libxcomposite' 'libxfixes' 'libxi' 'libxcursor' 'libxkbcommon-x11' 'libxrandr'
    'libxrender' 'libxshmfence' 'libxslt' 'mesa' 'nss' 'xcb-util-image'
    'xcb-util-keysyms' 'dbus')
optdepends=('ibus: InputBus for alternate character/emoji entry'
    'pulseaudio-alsa: audio via PulseAudio'
    'qt5-webengine: SSO login support'
    'picom: extra compositor needed by some window managers for screen sharing'
    'xcompmgr: extra compositor needed by some window managers for screen sharing')
