@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.

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.

When I select "Use system desktop capture" and hit "Share", nothing happens. I find this entry in zoom logs:

ListModel2<T, Key>::getItemIndex(): key not exists!

Hmmm, weird. No idea what the difference could be then. I have 3 computers running Arch with Wayland/KDE, and for all of them Zoom fails silently after I select something in the first dialogue. Frustrating!

Yes, the dialog pops up as described by rakatan and if I confirm it, it will share all screens no matter what is selected. Ending the share does freeze the application, while the call remains active. I have to kill zoom and reopen afterwards.

Hm, but @VanClaussen, IIUC do you have screen sharing working somewhat, although you can't select exactly what to share, and it crashes? If so, that seems to be different to @rakatan and me, who can't even get past the first dialogue.

I ended up switching to i3 because it was not reliable on wayland. Hopefully that changes soon.

VanClaussen commented on 2024-08-29 10:49 (UTC)

I'm on KDE with Wayland as well. I hope this will get fixed soon.

rakatan commented on 2024-08-29 10:11 (UTC)

@Rhinoceros I'm on wayland too, using sway.

Rhinoceros commented on 2024-08-29 09:53 (UTC)

@rakatan I'm exactly the same. I can't get screen share to work at all after the first dialogue. IDK if it's our DE? I'm using Wayland (on KDE). What are other people using?

rakatan commented on 2024-08-29 08:53 (UTC)

tested 6.1.11, screen sharing still broken, unable to select individual windows and it crashes when ending the screen share.

How are people able to get the screen sharing working at all? for me, when I press the screen share button, there is the first dialog to start sharing screen, I select "use system" and continue, but the following popup doesn't even open, the sharing doesn't start - nothing happens.
