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.

Changing the line system.audio.type=default to system.audio.type=alsa in ~/.config/zoomus.conf appears to have fixed my Zoom issues. Now Zoom doesn't get stuck on connecting and the audio doesn't get very quiet when joining breakout rooms.

Edit: This doesn't help and actually introduces a number of other problems.

@Ta180m I'm not sure if you've tried this, but I had to make sure no other application had any hold over alsa before starting the zoom session. In my case, it was a jack server.

rsaini commented on 2021-01-15 21:22 (UTC)

Does anyone have a good workflow for helping zoom and jackd share alsa? Right now I'm closing my jack server and every program connected to it before each zoom session. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

anyone else have an issue where some meetings get stuck at "Connecting" (if they are in a breakout room this only happens after you are accepted). I found some other person who has this issue on r/zoom but they are on windows

Does anyone have a reliable fix for this? It's really annoying and none of the solutions in the comments have worked for me.

Hi all, I just found out from my work colleagues that my Zoom audio has been behaving such that my audio always sounds very low to them when I first start speaking, then ramping up to a reasonable volume over a couple of seconds. Setting system.audio.type=alsa in ~/.config/zoomus.conf fixed this behaviour.

Edit: This "fix" didn't work. :( Any tips would be appreciated.

5.4.57450.1220-1 Missing audio disconnect option after audio connect. In windows version it is present in lower left corner.

Hm, Zoom is unusable for me. I join a meeting, it works fine for a few seconds, and then it crashes. Log says Something went wrong while running zoom,exit code is 139. I suspect it's a qt issue but I don't really know where else to ask help.

edh commented on 2020-12-23 16:53 (UTC)

@caleb Yes, I am well aware of that. But considering that they advertise the version the same, I would consider the change an artifact of the publishing process and will silently change it when zoom 5.5 comes out eventually.

alerque commented on 2020-12-23 16:28 (UTC)

but the way they advertise their version has changed and thus pacman will think it is actually lower.

This is what the PKGBUILD epoch property is for.

Like a couple users below (@phillipchaffee), on v5.4.57450.1220-1: Zoom is usable. Audio is fine and does not stutter. However, periodically the video framerate will drop (around 1-2 fps), and the UI will stutter. E.g. if I move the mouse in the zoom window, the bottom bar (with share screen, etc.) will take 2-4 seconds to appear.

Zoom does not appear to use large amounts of CPU % or memory when this happens. Issue doesn't seem to affect windows or OSX users atm.
