@MasterOne I've seen a similar crash not just recently but frequently across many versions in the last few months. The easiest way I found to avoid it is to make sure and enter the meeting ID with no spaces. I found copy and pasting the meeting ID from Zoom emails with their space separated groupings frequently caused crashes, but if I either type in or paste in a meeting ID with no spaces it us more stable.
Another one for me (because I frequently type on a non-English keyboard layout and switch layouts to type digits) is that swapping keyboard layouts using a keyboard shortcut (and the resulting momentary switch of input focus) sometimes crashed the join meeting box too. If I switch to a layout that I can type Arabic numerals first, then hit join and enter the meeting ID it is less likely to crash.
Neither of these things are unique to recent Zoom versions. I find the zoom-system-qt
package works better and crashes less frequently, but both are deeply troublesome. The upstream software quality is just abysmal and there isn't a lot the Arch packaging can do to fix it.

@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.
