OMG @ElementalWarrior you're right, the version 6.2.10 finally works! But the upgrade has reverted the pipewire mode, I had to re-enabled it in the settings (really annoying).
Now let's hope the Zoom developers won't break it again, or at least not for so long.
@Cyb3rD4d to counter your point.
I am running:
pipewire==1.2.6
sway-git==1.10.r7407.4fe054c-1
zoom=6.2.10-1
And just turned screen share to pipewire, and it worked for me. (after an eternity of it not working).
I do have to have it running xwayland though.
I tried to set the screen capture mode to Pipewire Mode but it does not work for me. I use Sway, the screen sharing works with Firefox and OBS so I think it's still an issue with Zoom.
Ah brilliant. Thank you @VanClaussen and @erbrecht. I can confirm it's working for me now too. I did some testing on two systems, and I didn't need to modify ~/.config/zoomus.conf, nor set an environment variable. The only change required was setting Screen capture mode on Wayland to Pipewire Mode as per @VanClaussen's comment.
@edh It would be helpful to pin a comment, at least linking to the wiki entry.
The share selection is now working for me as well, someone in the forums mentioned that he had to set the wayland sharing option to pipewire in the settings. Located at Settings -> Screen Share -> Advanced
@Rhinoceros I'm using Wayland on Gnome as well.
@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.
@VanClaussen, yes, I switched to Manjaro testing some weeks ago. Curiously, though, I never had any problems with the screen share selection – on both stable and testing. What window manager are you using? I am on gnome (gnome-shell 1:47.1-1 with gdm 47.0-1), using a wayland only setup (wayland 1.23.1-1) with minimal x11 libraries installed.
I also still can't pick which window to share with Zoom 6.2.10. I'm also on the latest pipewire 1.2.6. After selecting "Use system window capture", there's a confirmation box from the DE saying "Remote control requested", then Zoom just shares all my screens.
I'm using Wayland on KDE, @arash-m, what are you using?
Okay I'm on 1.2.5. Polly seems to be on Manjaro testing, I'm on stable. @Polly selecting what to share does work for you? Depending on the answer, my client will then be fixed after the next stable release of Manjaro hopefully.
