@mercutio Thank you. That's very helpful.
Alternatively, it can be fixed by setting the QT_SCALE_FACTOR environment variable rather than editing the binary file. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HiDPI#Qt_5
QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR has no effect, but QT_SCALE_FACTOR works.
I created a wrapper script in my ~/.bin that runs:
env QT_SCALE_FACTOR=0.5 /usr/bin/zoom
If anyone else has trouble with the GUI being scaled way to high (looking quite blurry on my 1080p display), you can use this fix: https://gist.github.com/mercutiodesign/a68a70d433edef1b087ace15e8175918
Based on this fix for the zoom-snap package: https://github.com/ogra1/zoom-snap/commit/6f3e8a6eec631e08e7cdbf3345ab896d7f368b6f
For a simple one off fix you can also run sudo sed -i s/T_AUTO_S/XXXXXXXX/g /opt/zoom/ZoomLauncher
5.1.418436.0628-1 is having issue with SSO on my side (running Manjaro, kernel 5.6.16-1).
Zoom client is being signed out after 30 sec when connected to a meeting.
FYI: last of 5.0 is working well
Anyone know why Zoom disables a Wacom touchscreen only in Zoom (Thinkpad X1 Yoga)? And is this something I can reactivate?
@dustmann you could use ffmpeg to capture the window then play it through a video loopback device
Does anyone have a trick to get zoom to allow me to only share a specific application? I only have options to share my full desktop or the whiteboard using Gnome / wayland fwiw.
@colinkeenan
Have a look at the PKGBUILD. It will become clear if you just take a glance.
In short: This PKGBUILD is just a thin wrapper around the official Arch package which zoom provides upstream (denoted by the _orig suffix). The main reason for this package's existence is to fix some dependencies and to make it easier for users to install.
Hence, it is very odd that one should work and not the other! I guess you are missing some optional dependency for your setup to work and zoom happens to flags the same dependency as non-optional.
Why does this package build zoom-...-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz AND zoom-..._orig_x86_64.pkg.tar.xz? Only the "orig" works for me. Do some people need the other for some reason? Why?
@hv15 Thanks a lot for digging into it. I was not aware of the fact that running zoom without pulseaudio-alsa is officially supported. I will flag the package as optional with the next release.
@je-vv Sorry for taking so long to only now do what you requested months ago. To be clear, the question of whether to mark pulseaudio-alsa as optional was more about whether it being officially supported.
Scaling issues: None of the recommendations below fully worked for my machine. Still, I apparently fixed the multi-screen scaling problems using QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS="1;0.5" /usr/bin/zoom. (The environment variable takes a list of scale factors, one per screen.)

@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.
