I'm having the same issue that @sergeG239 mentioned on 2024-12-26.
I have moments where Zoom appears unresponsive while audio still works and then eventually everything returns to normal.
Looking in the logs I see
ZoomWebviewHost[44394]: segfault at 19 ip 00007116b059bdb4 sp 00007116837fb430 error 6 in libcef.so[8d9adb4,7116a9cb7000+b156000] likely on CPU 0 (core 0, socket 0)
@edh Sorry, it seems I messed this up :) I moved my aur directory to another filesystem and that seems to have messed up some permissions. I just tried from scratch and the problem is gone.
@noobody I agree the ownership is weird. As @daniel_shub (Thanks! :) ) hinted I just repackage what zoom provides upstream. I see this package as way to link the zoom package to AUR package managers and I am not keen on fixing any package bugs post-hoc.
Could you please contact the zoom support regarding this issue? This way the package can stay as simple and readable as possible (plus all other distributions benefit too).
@ugjka if the flatpack works better for you, great, but the AUR PKGBUILD downloads the tarball from zoom, copies it to /opt, and not much else (@edh thank you maintaining a PKGBUILD that does that). Your issue was unlikely related to the AUR PKGBUILD.
Had to swap this package to the one from Flatpak because 5 minutes before the meeting the user interface turned all in Korean language and I couldn't figure at all where the language knob is. I hadn't run Zoom for a while so i have no clue if some recent build started doing this but I guess this is the end for Zoom from the AUR for me.
Just installed 6.3.10. It seems directory permissions have changed:
warning: directory permissions differ on /opt/
filesystem: 755 package: 777
warning: directory permissions differ on /opt/zoom/
filesystem: 755 package: 777
warning: directory permissions differ on /opt/zoom/Qt/
...
The list goes on. This seems too much, is it intended for any reason?
Surely for /opt it's wrong.
@HighValueWarrior Could you please tell us if the screen share issues are fixed in the flatpak version?
Unable to login and launch zoom. Login from any browser is fine, but none will launch. Downloaded flatpak and working perfectly. Logic would dictate somehting missing or broken.
With the the 6.3.1 version, I am able to share my full screens on Wayland, but am unable to share a single window still. It attempts to share, but the result is just a black window.
This isn't an elegant solution, but until I see/find/hear something else resolving the issue properly or figure out what in my setup is causing this, here's a workaround I've been using to get single window sharing:
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME DESKTOP_SESSION= XDG_SESSION_TYPE= zoom
Setting these environment variables seems to force Zoom to work with the old X window sharing methods, even in Wayland. I don't know if this only works on non-native apps, or what, but I can share individual windows. (I cannot share full screen, funny enough, but for my every day use cases I don't need it.)
Hello , sorry for the noise which i made , looks like it was based on a wrongly downloaded package source on my system caused all this :

@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.
