@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.

@ph2545, I only use zoom for work (just because IT chose to use zoom), and the only way to login is through sso authentication. It's been working fine since I had to start using zoom. Just a reminder that for sso authentication you need to provide your company's domain 1st...

@edh What you say sounds reasonable. However, it worked fine prior the March 23 update. Nevertheless thank you for your contribution.

edh commented on 2020-03-25 17:29 (UTC)

@je-vv Thanks for the explanation. I will add picom to the optdepends array with the next update.

@ph2545 I am not part of the zoom support team and the SSO problem very much does not sound like a packaging problem.

Thanks for the quick update. However there is still a problem with sso login could you please look at it? Thanks

They generically recommended a X compositor, and the one mentioned was xcompmgr. When I started to experiment with an X compositor (long time ago) for WMs which were not compositors, like fluxbox and blackbox, I started with xcompmgr, but it crashed every now and then. Then I found compton (now picom), and it has worked flawlessly for me ever since. BTW, lxqt integrates pretty well with picom. The article referenced says: "The share screen feature requires compositing.", and then it shows the particular case for xcompmgr, but that's not the only one. See: "https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg#List_of_composite_managers".

@je-vv Where did you find that picom helps? xcompmgr is officially recommended by zoom but I wasn't able to find a similar statement for picom.

je-vv commented on 2020-03-25 16:48 (UTC)

@edh and @hmenke, please add both X compositors, picom (compton) and xcompmgr. I've been using zoom with picom + fluxbox for quite a while without issues. Thanks !

Login with Google Accounts is not working.

Seems this is a xdg issue with Chrome/Chromium. with Firefox it works

edh commented on 2020-03-25 08:34 (UTC)

@hmenke Will do that with the next release. Thanks!

hmenke commented on 2020-03-25 08:31 (UTC)

Could you please add xcompmgr to optdepends? With some window managers screen sharing needs extra compositing, otherwise it just shows a black screen.
