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.)

@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.
