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.conf updates:

  • SSO Login: I don't have qt5-webengine installed, and the ebeddedBrowserForSSOLogin line doesn't exist in my config zoomus.conf. SSO login works just fine (issues with Firefox containers aside).
  • Audio: I am using Pipewire via pipewire-pulse. system.audio.type defaulted to alsa for me (or I changed it without realizing it). I probably could have installed pipewire-alsa and fixed my issues, but I set system.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.

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.

@je-vv Thanks for the explanation. I will add picom to the optdepends array with the next update.

@ph2545 I am not part of the zoom support team and the SSO problem very much does not sound like a packaging problem.

Thanks for the quick update. However there is still a problem with sso login could you please look at it? Thanks

They generically recommended a X compositor, and the one mentioned was xcompmgr. When I started to experiment with an X compositor (long time ago) for WMs which were not compositors, like fluxbox and blackbox, I started with xcompmgr, but it crashed every now and then. Then I found compton (now picom), and it has worked flawlessly for me ever since. BTW, lxqt integrates pretty well with picom. The article referenced says: "The share screen feature requires compositing.", and then it shows the particular case for xcompmgr, but that's not the only one. See: "https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg#List_of_composite_managers".

@je-vv Where did you find that picom helps? xcompmgr is officially recommended by zoom but I wasn't able to find a similar statement for picom.

je-vv commented on 2020-03-25 16:48 (UTC)

@edh and @hmenke, please add both X compositors, picom (compton) and xcompmgr. I've been using zoom with picom + fluxbox for quite a while without issues. Thanks !

Login with Google Accounts is not working.

Seems this is a xdg issue with Chrome/Chromium. with Firefox it works

edh commented on 2020-03-25 08:34 (UTC)

@hmenke Will do that with the next release. Thanks!

hmenke commented on 2020-03-25 08:31 (UTC)

Could you please add xcompmgr to optdepends? With some window managers screen sharing needs extra compositing, otherwise it just shows a black screen.

@matthias: I see the same thing.

@losbehamos and @edh: Can you add any insight to this problem?

matthias commented on 2020-03-25 00:22 (UTC)

@bidskii: unfortunatly not. If I run zoom from the console, then the last message is: "js: Failed to set referrer policy: The value 'strict-origin-when-cross-origin' is not one of 'no-referrer', 'no-referrer-when-downgrade', 'origin', 'origin-when-cross-origin', or 'unsafe-url'. The referrer policy has been left unchanged."
