@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.

@caleb Yes, I am well aware of that. But considering that they advertise the version the same, I would consider the change an artifact of the publishing process and will silently change it when zoom 5.5 comes out eventually.

but the way they advertise their version has changed and thus pacman will think it is actually lower.

This is what the PKGBUILD epoch property is for.

Like a couple users below (@phillipchaffee), on v5.4.57450.1220-1: Zoom is usable. Audio is fine and does not stutter. However, periodically the video framerate will drop (around 1-2 fps), and the UI will stutter. E.g. if I move the mouse in the zoom window, the bottom bar (with share screen, etc.) will take 2-4 seconds to appear.

Zoom does not appear to use large amounts of CPU % or memory when this happens. Issue doesn't seem to affect windows or OSX users atm.

@vesath Tanks I forgot about that :D

@NGr Yes, the version number increased but the way they advertise their version has changed and thus pacman will think it is actually lower.

@vesath The version number has increased.

If you're taking the version number from 5.4.56259.1207 down to 5.4.7 you must add 'epoch=1' so that pacman will know this is actually an upgrade.

The latest version, 5.4.56259.1207, unfortunately still crashes on me if I open a link directly. The workaround that others mentioned about opening Zoom separately first and logging in appears to do the trick sometimes.

@Nikita790 I find that clicking links to launch zoom leaves it spinning to connect. Open zoom separately first, sign in if you do that, then click whatever join links. No idea what the issue is, but I'm guessing it's some sort of async loading thing that launching zoom first resolves.

Seems to hog a good bit of CPU. I'm not sure if that's just this version, or all versions.

Is the newest release just completely unusable for anyone else? It technically runs but is insanely slow for me.
