A little nitpicky perhaps; but the provided desktop file has Icon=Zoom.png which causes the icon detection to fail. If it's switched to Icon=Zoom; the icon is correctly guessed. (XDG application does not need file extension unless the icon is a hard link. In this case it's not; the Zoom icons are unpacked to directories that allow them to be autodetected by the system.)
The patch would be a one-liner sed -i 's|Zoom\.png|Zoom|g' "${pkgdir}/usr/share/applications/Zoom.desktop"
The current version (5.0.408598.0517-1) seems to be stable for me now.
I had tried previous suggestions of upgrading mesa, etc. and still experienced crashing on every version I tried prior to this.
I was having the freezing issue with SSO and after attempting various solutions, including the pinned ~/.config/zoom.conf suggestion, deleting zoom data directory worked:
cd ~/.zoom
rm -rf data
mkdir data
restart zoom, log into sso, all is well.
I just had another crash this morning right in the middle of an important discussion, and normally I can't restart it and have to logout/in again. I instead checked for an update, which there was, installed it in 20 seconds, and was back in the meeting with no crashes. Fingers crossed but this latest release today may have fixed it!
Also ran into this issue over the last week or so. This morning I could not start zoom after 20+ attempts. My setup has mesa 20.0.7-2 and zoom was at 5.0.408598.0517-1. I found that just reverting zoom to 5.0.398100.0427-1 works for me.
Our company IT dept, recently advised users to not update zoom 5.0.4 as they where seeing issues on Window and MACs.
Regarding the recent segfaults: I tried downgrading zoom with no luck, then I discovered it's actually all apps trying to access the webcam that segfault. Blame appears to lie with mesa 20.0.7-1. mesa 20.0.7-2 fixes the problem for me.
Yeah just z few comments below. I'd suggest sticking with 0427 build for now
Been getting a bunch of crashes (segfaults) with the latest Zoom AUR. Anyone else getting these? I haven't looked too deep yet. When it happens I cannot restart it, it keeps crashing, I have to logout and back in again. I'll try a system update soon I suppose.

I can't test audio; and audio is not working for me. Does anyone have any ideas what's the issue? (Solved: kernel update but did not reboot; for some reason it caused issues. Was fine after reboot.)

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.confupdates:qt5-webengineinstalled, and theebeddedBrowserForSSOLoginline doesn't exist in my configzoomus.conf. SSO login works just fine (issues with Firefox containers aside).pipewire-pulse.system.audio.typedefaulted toalsafor me (or I changed it without realizing it). I probably could have installedpipewire-alsaand fixed my issues, but I setsystem.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.edh commented on 2016-08-26 11:03 (UTC) (edited on 2017-03-09 10:48 (UTC) by edh)
