Zoom app doesn't support Wayland yet and it is necessary to use X11 instead. It's been months since Zoom mentioned they are working on fixing this issue.

System : Ubuntu 22.04
Zoom version : 5.15.7.6521
Firefox version : 116.0.3

Zoom is provided by my company for regular meeting, so using other meeting platforms is not an option. What I've tried :

  1. X11 : I'm not looking to switch to X11. My system works so badly with it, very slow and constant lagging when performing any task, while Wayland has been very smooth, no lag, I have been enjoying it very much. I tried to switch to X11 to test if Zoom screen share would work, it did work. But for some random shenanigans in my system, it took me nearly 3 hours to switch back to Wayland and GDM3. I do not want to switch to X11 again, especially only for Zoom.
  2. Reinstall from Debian package. A particular thread in Zoom community (I forgot to save the link) suggested to purge Zoom from Ubuntu and reinstall the Debian version, seemed to work for a select few people. But doesn't solve the issue for most people, including me.
  3. Running Zoom with XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME following this from Zoom Community.
  4. Running Zoom with QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb
  5. Firefox Pipewire :

    • Pipewire installed :

       gstreamer1.0-pipewire/jammy-updates,now 0.3.48-1ubuntu3 amd64 [installed,automatic]
 libpipewire-0.3-0/jammy-updates,now 0.3.48-1ubuntu3 amd64 [installed]

 pipewire-media-session/jammy,now 0.4.1-2ubuntu1 amd64 [installed,automatic]

    • Have it enabled in Firefox.

    • Setting enableWaylandShare to true from ~/.config/zoomus.conf following this instruction from Arch wiki. Screen sharing via browser still not working.

    • From a July 2023 thread on Zoom community : From Zoom desktop client --> Settings --> Share Screen --> Advanced --> Change screen capture to Pipewire. Screen sharing via desktop app still not working.

    • Webrtc screen sharing showing no option of windows we can share from the drop down menu. With the default option, when I click share nothing happens. WebRTC and Firefox permissions Look like this :

  1. Chrome Pipewire :

    • chrome://flags/#enable-webrtc-pipewire-capturer enabled following this solution.

    • When sharing screen, chrome always crashes. Here's the error log :

      libva error ? Here's installed libva in my system :

Any other suggestions I can try to make Zoom screen sharing work in Wayland ? Fyi as of now, I use VMware for any Zoom meeting where I need to share screen, this too, is not optimal but the only way to go for me.

ps: I posted this question on another community platform before with no working soution yet.
