Since the last 5.4 release (and with both 5.5 ones), I have the problem where whenever I share my screen or an application or the zoom whiteboard, the sharing control disappear after few secs and I'm stuck sharing the same thing until someone else "steals" screen sharing. Anyone got this too?
My laptop has an nvidia card and I'm running X + KDE.
new update includes 'hide self view' option. however, when I click it all the others in the zoom disappear and I only see myself and can't get back to gallery view. Any ideas?
No ALT-Y here also
Is anyone able to use the "raise hand" function? For me, the buttons for this are missing and alt+y is not working either.
Deselecting "Automatically join audio by computer when joining a meeting" in the Zoom settings seems to help as well with the issue of getting stuck on connecting when joining meetings.
Edit: This doesn't help and I still get this issue a lot.
Does screen sharing work for anybody under Wayland? Supposedly, it is supported on Arch Linux but when I try to share my screen all I get is an message telling me that it only works for supported OSes (Fedore, Ubuntu, .. Arch Linux ..)
@archmylinux: the "orig" is the source file. Looks like you are using a helper, try to build manually. Ie makepkg -crs then pacman -U.
When I try to install the package I get : error: 'zoom-5.4.57862.0110_orig_x86_64.pkg.tar.xz': duplicate target. And what do you know, in /tmp/packerbuild-1000/zoom/zoom/ I ls two packages : zoom-5.4.57862.0110-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz and zoom-5.4.57862.0110_orig_x86_64.pkg.tar.xz. So I pacman -U one and got it installed. Why is there two of them?
I have the exact same problem as @smolloy and it's driving me crazy (or better, my colleagues). I also start to speak and it's very low and then it increases the volume.
I've already tried to change the config to system.audio.type=alsa but it's still not working, I've also disabled the mic auto regulation from zoom and set the noise reduction to low, but still nothing.
For now I've "fixed" it by using the web version and keeping the native client open at the same time to see the gallery, but that's quite impractical.
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.

@Rhinoceros - I finally got screen sharing to work under KDE with Wayland. Looks like I'm using the same versions as you:
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.
