@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.

@electricprism The vulnerability you are talking about is in the preinstall script of the macOS installer (see here for an in-depth analysis). This PKGBUILD is therefore immune to this particular form of privilege escalation. Nevertheless the Linux version of Zoom is still vulnerable to all other flaws that have been detected recently, such as information leak of email addresses, unauthorized sharing of personal data with Facebook, or the fake end-to-end encryption. However, running Zoom in flatpak or another container solution will not protect you from these vulnerabilities because they are either conceptual or server-side flaws. The only way to mitigate these is to not use Zoom.

Due to backdoor root access on MacOS I suggest others consider using a flatpak or other containerized version of this:

"The application is installed without the user giving his final consent and a highly misleading prompt is used to gain root privileges. The same tricks that are being used by macOS malware."

@hmenke Thanks a lot for the input! I will add those dependencies with the next release.

I just set up Zoom in a systemd-nspawn container and discovered the following missing dependencies:

  • libxcursor: Zoom will just refuse to start with

    error while loading shared libraries: libXcursor.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

  • libxkbcommon-x11: Without this, keyboard input will just be ignored. There is a little hint in the log:

    Qt: Failed to create XKB context!

  • ttf-dejavu: Without this, Zoom just won't show any fonts. A different font would probably do as well, so depending on the ttf-font metapackage might be sufficient.

@archmylinux : It's what I did to install it (and it works great). (It's what I mean by at hand, I would like to understand how to correct the PKGBUILD for it to compil and install directly, I have done quiete a few try but none worked).

Thank for you answer.

@Gregoire, try ⇒ sudo pacman -U /tmp/packerbuild-1000/zoom/zoom/zoom-notTheOriginal.pkg.tar.xz

Hi, I've been trying to use Zoom on my PC, but every time I launch the program, my pc just crashes, no warning, nothing. I'm still unable to understand with is this happening. The screen just turns black, and I can't do anything but to force shutdown. Is there anyone who had this identic issue or knows how to fix this? I've been forced to use the browser version and it really sucks :(

(EDIT) I tried running from the command line and I was only able to capture the log with my phone before it crashed my pc. Hope it helps: https://imgur.com/swR3OZv

Can you confirm that pulseaudio is really required as a dependency? When the pulseaudio socket is enabled, my microphone actually works worse than when it's disabled.
