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

  • Zoom 6.2.10
  • pipewire 1.2.6

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.

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.

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.

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.

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')

I've also been running Zoom with xwayland for over a year now - their Wayland support just crashes too easily. At every major release I try Wayland again, and it just crashes again :)

nadavz commented on 2021-10-07 09:12 (UTC)

I've fixed many Wayland related crashes by changing Zoom to use X11. cp /usr/share/applications/Zoom.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/ and apply

< Exec=/usr/bin/zoom %U
---
> Exec=env QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb /usr/bin/zoom %U

@je-vv thanks for your suggestions, I tried most of them but none in particular made immediate impact, however, I believe it was probably a sort of glitch when some hosts added me to a meeting. If the host ever went offline, the problem would clear from that point onwards. The last update cleared the issue. Thanks again

hi, I am unable to get sound in zoom with pipewire on archlinux. As hv15 says, changing the line system.audio.type=default to system.audio.type=alsa in ~/.config/zoomus.conf works. However, I cannot use bluetooth headphones, it requires bluetooth to connect for alsa ( using bluez-alsa ) package and make necessary configurations (which results not to use pipewire for bluetooth).

Are there anyone use pipewire without problem?

Speaking of ibus dependency: fcitx5 works with Zoom just fine. So there's no need to force ibus to be installed as Zoom's dependency. Those who use it already have it installed right? And as of now those who don't use it just get a bunch of extra useless packages.
