@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.

@edh and other responders, just tested, after 4 hour of failing to get effectv working through a v4l-compat layer with zoom, I decided to either lookup my previous attempt to port it to v4l2, or re-port it entirely with my recent improved understanding of automation and regex.

Zoom without the funky effect worked after testing, and I feel a little more secure using it.

Little bit tipsy, sorry, had to retype the first part of this.

p.s

Whats up with these crypto related build system forks? Downloading 1-3gb to compile something that could be in the 1-2kb range, source and binary!

Can not run installed package. First run after successful install freeze computer until hard reset. Next and other runs after reset program immediately quits without any effect.

@image28 That's a really nice project and is an intriguing option for this package as well.

For now though, I will probably stick to the current upstream version as they specifically provide an Arch Linux package that does not build against system libraries. I don't want to risk that some library calls change slightly by updating to system libraries and break zoom.

Recreated the zoom package, reused the filename from the PKGBUILD file. Stripped the shared libraries from the package. Then used ldd to figure out what was missing. Had to add qt designer for it to start after that.

Result is a 20mb package that uses the system libraries, rather than a ~260mb package.

Seems a lot quicker, and more secure.

Binary is still 50mb, with a 2010 version of zlib statically compiled in :(

Hi,

For some reason my USB Blue Yeti microphone is recognized by zoom as an audio input option, but it's not actually picking up any sound.

In discord, audacity, and all other programs it seems to be recognized and work fine, but for some reason zoom is having issues.

In pavucontrol, the microphone is showing that it's picking up sound and it's set as the default/fallback input device.

Anyone else having a similar issue?

@edh That would be an acceptable outcome. I'll go post about it in apulse's comments, I guess.

@ypoluektovich Considering that apulse is a pulseaudio emulator for ALSA, I suppose it makes more sense to let apulse provide pulseaudio-also instead of changing every package that depends on the latter.

ypoluektovich commented on 2020-04-10 11:52 (UTC)

Please add an option to not install pulseaudio-alsa - it can be replaced with apulse.

@electricprism The vulnerability you are talking about is in the preinstall script of the macOS installer (see here for an in-depth analysis). This PKGBUILD is therefore immune to this particular form of privilege escalation. Nevertheless the Linux version of Zoom is still vulnerable to all other flaws that have been detected recently, such as information leak of email addresses, unauthorized sharing of personal data with Facebook, or the fake end-to-end encryption. However, running Zoom in flatpak or another container solution will not protect you from these vulnerabilities because they are either conceptual or server-side flaws. The only way to mitigate these is to not use Zoom.

electricprism commented on 2020-04-03 19:58 (UTC)

Due to backdoor root access on MacOS I suggest others consider using a flatpak or other containerized version of this:

"The application is installed without the user giving his final consent and a highly misleading prompt is used to gain root privileges. The same tricks that are being used by macOS malware."
