@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.

Shouldn't the pkgrel have been bumped instead of adding the "a"?

The release number. This is usually a positive integer number that allows to differentiate between consecutive builds of the same version of a package. As fixes and additional features are added to the PKGBUILD that influence the resulting package, the pkgrel should be incremented by 1. When a new version of the software is released, this value must be reset to 1. In exceptional cases other formats can be found in use, such as major.minor.

The checksum of the last release (5.7.6-1) is different than the one specified on the PKGBUILD, maybe they changed the file without releasing a new version?

The sha512 for the file at the moment is 7c34f2f1951a22391ced31960fedba4f1058abf55f1e530b1069bc9b2946f54cd3a12713135ab7ea0ae57131e2ce30521315ce4a67673f7f024cd23f6e03c4be

Edit: I just saw the last comments, just ignore this one

@sarovin Zoom changed the package without changing the URL. I'll update the package soon.

Hi, I have a problem with the sha512sums validation.

The Zoom desktop client isn't calling ::UnInhibit() method (against org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver) via DBUS when the meeting is over and the video window is closed. The call to ::Inhibit() is working fine when the video starts.

For services that observe the DBus calls to org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver (ie. caffeine or xssproxy), without the corresponding ::UnInhibit() call the screensaver stays inhibited, preventing xss-lock from kicking in and locking the screen, even if no video is playing, until the Zoom process is terminated.

I submitted a support request to Zoom, but I thought of mentioning it here in-case someone had some kind of work-around that I'm not aware of. Well... I do have a work-around; it's terminating the Zoom Desktop Client every-time I'm done with a conference call :(

EDIT: Missing DBus reference and grammar.

I found a workaround for my intermittent "Can't hear others on first join". And it is that if I go to "video settings" on the bottom left video dropdown, then go to Audio section and "test speaker", then I instantly hear the other participants without having to leave and re-join the meeting.

After installing the pkg.tar.xz debtapped package, pacman installed some other dependencies. AUR Zoom works now.

Specifically what other dependencies @BobbyBoohoo?

Every time I used Zoom on sway, it crashed shortly after I joined the call. This seems to have been fixed after I downloaded a deb version of Zoom and debtapped it. After installing the pkg.tar.xz debtapped package, pacman installed some other dependencies. AUR Zoom works now.

Anyone have luck with zoom on gnome and wayland? Whenever I use zoom in a gnome wayland session, I get noticeable slowdowns that only disappear when I go to gnome activities view.
