Arch Linux User Repository

@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.

Ugh, zoom-6.2.5 is completely broken, no GUI even when started from terminal. Each release of 6.2 series just gets worse and worse...

I installed zoom (yay -S zoom). The installation works correctly (AFAICT). I am using LXQt as Desktop Environment from a relatively fresh install.

When I run zoom from the command line (simply type zoom, no GUI comes up).

The zoom_stdout_stderr.log in /home/myuser/.zoom/logs:

[myuser@galago-pro logs]$ cat zoom_stdout_stderr.log

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can confirm, 6.2.5 does not solve the freezing when ending a screen share on Manjaro/Gnome with pipewire 1:1.2.5-0.

Tested 6.2.5 -- still not fixed for KDE on Wayland (freeze on screen share stop and it's only possible to share all screens).

6.2.3-1 and 6.2.0-1 only run in background but show no visible UI on my XOrg / XFCE. Latest working version is 6.1.11-1.

The workaround that I've been using is to connect to meetings using the web client if I need to screen share. Performance is marginal and audio quality is worse, but at least screen sharing works.

@Landarzar That's the same PKGBUILD as in the AUR.

The following PKGBUILD works for me.

pkgname=zoom
pkgver=6.2.3

prepare() {
    sed -i 's/Zoom\.png/Zoom/g' "${srcdir}/usr/share/applications/Zoom.desktop"
    sed -i 's/StartupWMClass=Zoom/StartupWMClass=zoom/g' "${srcdir}/usr/share/applications/Zoom.desktop"
}

package() {
    cp -dpr --no-preserve=ownership opt usr "${pkgdir}"
}

Furthermore, under X (I am not using Wayland). I must run

xcompmgr -c -o 0.1

Trying to open Zoom 6.2.3-1 (on a fully up-to-date system) gives me the following error:

/opt/zoom/zoom: symbol lookup error: /opt/zoom/zoom: undefined symbol: _ZNKSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEE2atEm, version Qt_5

I'm guessing this is some sort of incompatibility with the latest Qt version?

@sim31 - yes, it's reported and Zoom is aware of the issue and working on a fix. See https://community.zoom.com/t5/Zoom-Meetings/share-screen-linux-wayland-broken/m-p/203624/highlight/true#M112235

A fix is expected in the 6.2.5 release.
