@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.

I contacted the zoom support on 13th July 2016 and tried to lure them into creating a proper PKGBUILD respectively adopting this one, considering they are providing a package over very none standard ways to the Arch Linux community (downloading via a *foreign* site) and not through the official repo or the AUR. However there was little to no progress so far.

Zoom.desktop should use lowercase in StartupWMClass=zoom (instead of StartupWMClass=Zoom).

Recently I noticed that this app has scaling issues on my dual monitor setup. The secondary display is fine, however the primary is blown up.

Adding QT_SCALE_FACTOR=0.5 fixes it for the primary but when I drag to the secondary it's scaled tiny.

Both screens are 1920x1080 - One is the laptop and the other is a secondary display in portrait.

Is anyone else facing segfaults with the Zoom binary? Complete error log: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/DqJWQ5mzz4/. The following line repeats more than 10k times:

load glyph failed err=24 face=0x55afbb106260, glyph=9

Edit: Running with env QT_SCALE_FACTOR=0.9 /usr/bin/zoom seems to be fine. I think its a missing font with my Qt config.

@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?

image28 commented on 2020-07-02 03:34 (UTC)

@dustmann you could use ffmpeg to capture the window then play it through a video loopback device

dustmann commented on 2020-07-02 03:19 (UTC)

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.
