@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.

@zeph2 I had the same error as @aljinovic (i.e. qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found; complete log here ). I didn't have any symbol lookup errors that you and others have reported, so it seems like there might be two different issues.

@aljinovic @terru I have qt5-base installed for other reasons, but zoom still crashes at startup with the same error as reported by cysp74 on 2023-02-09 10:09 (UTC). I have tried playing a bit with qt packages, but I have yet to find a solution on my system. I am using the latest zoom version from AUR.

After using Zoom for two years without any issues, I noticed some weeks ago that I could no longer share my screen (on X11, no Wayland involved): The button to start sharing is there, but the dialog to select a window or full screen etc. didn't appear at all.

Since my searches did not yield any hints, I just wanted to give Flatpak a chance. So I installed it parallel to this AUR. Starting it, I noticed that German translation is missing (not a deal breaker) but it wouldn't "migrate its database" (permissions issues?). So I just uninstalled it a couple of minutes later.

Weird thing is: After that, clicking the "Share Screen" button yielded a dialog again, so that part is back to normal (although I don't see how above actions could have influenced that).

I now face a different issue: I start Zoom, log in, click "Keep me logged in", enter my 2FA TOTP code, and everything is working. But when I quit Zoom (via its notification button, without signing out) and re-start it, I need to log in again. So my login isn't remembered now. That part WAS working correctly before my above actions.

I see this in ~/.zoom/zoom_stdout_stderr.log:

…

Any idea what could cause and how to tackle this?

@edh this is the error that I found in error log:

qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found

I can confirm that after installing qt5-base the issues I was having with newer versions have gone away, though it's worth noting that I hadn't tried the latest version too recently. It's possible my problems were fixed by some other update I installed in the meantime rather than qt5-base specifically.

edh commented on 2023-03-01 16:40 (UTC)

@aljinovic According to zoom upstream, qt5-base is not a dependency. They ship a bunch of qt packages with the package so having to install qt5-base seems strange.

Zoom was crashing on startup after I tried any of the >5.13.4 versions. Installing qt5-base solved the issue. Is it a new dependency?

Hi. I'm in a zoom-meeting right now and rarely use it. But in the "Meeting Chat" a person has shared a "handout.pdf"-file. If I hover over the attachment, the tooltip says: "Click to download". If I click the 3 dots in the upper corner, I can also select/click "Download" - but in any case, nothing works. I think it's a permission problem, because I launched zoom from a link in my browser, but zoom has been installed as root. It's reaaaaaaaly annoying that this doesn't work under Arch Linux - if I join the zoom-meeting with my Android phone I can however download the attachment - but this is ridiculous... Anyone know what's wrong and is it a problem for everyone or only me, on Arch Linux?

Hi, i faced issue with Share Screen with zoom-5.13.7.683.But it also happened on previous version. While I'm sharing full display after 20 or more minutes my pc got frozen, I still can speek and hear, but can't turn of sharing somehow, cursor is frozen, shortcuts doesn't take effect. Beside sharing, the meeting is recording by zoom. It happens always, not by chance. I'am using kenrel 5.15.91-1-MANJARO and Wayland.

Is there some solution for this? Should i try X11?
