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.

It should by all means. Happy sharing!

So with the symlink /usr/libexec --> /usr/lib and with Pipewire v1.0.7, I can currently use Zoom 6.1.1 with KDE/Plasma under Wayland.

Does this resolve the issue where you can't share individual windows, only the entire screen?

Sgt_H4rtman commented on 2024-07-08 11:00 (UTC)

The crash after ending screen share originate from an incompatibility with Pipewire v1.2.0. Downgrading to Pipewire v1.0.7 resolves the issue for now.

I was wondering why Zoom 6.0.10/6.0.12 also started crashing, since they worked for me quite reliably before. This post in the Zoom forum got me in the right direction.

I did an update to gnome/mutter and it broke zoom screen share. After stopping the screen share, zoom freezes. I tried 6.0.12, 6.1.0, and 6.1.1.

edit: Tested again the latest version on Xorg and it works fine. Problem appears to be only in Wayland.

edit2: Tested in wayland using env -u WAYLAND_DISPLAY XDG_SESSION_TYPE=xorg zoom and it also works (probably needs xorg-xwayland installed).

edit3: The above workaround prevents zoom from freezing/crashing, but the screen-share is messed up (it gets blacked out where there's no zoom window on the screen). On Xorg it seems to be working fine for now.

Nope, it still requires the workaround mentioned below.

arash-m commented on 2024-07-02 15:12 (UTC)

I tried 6.1.1 and screen sharing still doesn't work for me.

if you can't wait for update

wget https://zoom.us/client/6.0.12.5501/zoom_x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
sudo pacman -U zoom_x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

zoom support team has announced in the community forum that tomorrow june 30th they will release 6.1.1, that is suppose to fix this bug.

MirandaStreeter commented on 2024-06-26 21:04 (UTC)

Plasma 6.1/Wayland, the symlink workaround only enables sharing all screens at once (spanning both monitors). Instead of the XDG portals selection window I only get a "Remote Control Requested" KDE popup.
