@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.

ubmarco - thank you - this worked (so far) for me.

@ubmarco That is a function of old QT functions not handling per-monitor DPI settings, and not an issue with this packaging.

Starting zoom from the command line with QT_SCALE_FACTOR=0.5 zoom fixes the issue partially for me. I have a laptop and a 1080p monitor connected. On laptop it looks normal using above hack, when moving the app to the external monitor it's big however.

Edit: I just checked and my external HDMI monitor reports a wrong physical screen size (xrandr shows 160mm x 90mm), so maybe that's why it is not working there.

HIDPI monitor detection has changed several times between versions. That is an upstream Zoom issue not an issue with this package per se. Most recently they went from not detecting HiDPI at all to applying twice too much scaling when they do. I've been able to work around it locally by launching while reporting different DPI settings through Xft configuration.

Besides the big uncontrolled size, it breaks for me, using fluxbox as WM and LXQt as DE. Only way to prevent breakages and avoiding the huse size is reverting to prior version, which was still 5.0, while latest version breaking is 5.1..

I have issues controlling Breakout Rooms - all popups disappear immediately ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHrfPDILIgc ). This is not a new issue. I am using Gnome. Can someone else confirm it is a linux/arch/gnome issue?

xdevnull commented on 2020-06-17 18:50 (UTC)

The interface, both the main conferencing one as well as the client with login, settings, etc. has increased in size, as if it has been scaled up for some reason. This is on Plasma.

It could be possible that in the latest update my zoom went really BIG? I mean, it is like all its interfase is zoomed in... and because that does not fit in the screen, it is barely usable

Actually the crash was partly my fault. I had switched to Xorg from Wayland and still had set QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland.

I can run it via terminal, e.g.: QT_QPA_PLATFORM="" zoom

Made a PKGBUILD for a stripped version, doesn't work. Doing something wrong with the package build. Firstly I can't get the sha512sum I made of files to verify.

Haven't worked out all the deps so you may have to ldd the binary, and pacman -Fx the missing libs to find the right deps to install. Also it riquires files from qtdesigner.

Something like this

for d in ldd zoom | awk -F' ' '{print $3}'; do PACKAGES="$PACKAGES pacman -Fx "$d" | rev | awk -F'' '{print $2}' | rev"; done; pacman -S "$PACKAGES"
