Screen share on Linux NixOS - Hyprland / Wayland is broken

Hi, I've seen a few similar posts, and have patiently waited for months to have a working solution on Wayland for screensharing, but so far it remains as broken as it was a year ago, so starting a new post to share all the relevant information.

 

My only workaround until now was to rely on Zoom v6.0.2.4680 and downgrade Pipewire to v1.0.7, but it sadly stopped working (zoom would not even log any error message to stdout, so I'm not sure what's going on).

 

The only option is to now embrace the newer versions, so I'm currently on v6.3.10.7150, which allows me to join calls but I can't share my screen at all.

 

I've tried the suggested "Settings->Share screen->Advanced->Screen capture mode on Wayland set to Pipewire Mode" without success. Whether I set it to Auto, Original or Pipewire Mode, I get the same error pop-up saying the following:

"Can not start screen share, choose one of the options:

 

- Install latest 'xdg-desktop-portal' and 'xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland'

- Switch to X11 display server

 

To support screen share"

 

The xdg-desktop-portals are already installed on their latest versions on my system, and the suggestion to switch to X11 is completely unacceptable.

 

Would anyone be able to look into this? As a team lead, I need to share my screen on a daily basis at work and now that the workaround no longer works, I'm completely blocked by this issue.

 

Note: I would happily upload a screenshot, but I wasn't allowed to do so.

Audio in Zoom meetings are very low

We recently changed computers but the audio in Zoom is heard very low, we have already raised the volume of the bar in the Zoom settings but it is still heard very low, in other applications such as Teams we have no problems.

Hi all -

 

I'm using Zoom on a Neat Bar system (neat bar + TVs), and with a recent software update, the camera is automatically enabling camera tracking. This is causing issues with the video as it does not frame the room correctly.

 

How can I disable this camera tracking permanently? I'd like it to start with a set framing of the room each time. 

 

Thanks!

I can perfectly access Zoom with other devices; however, my pc won't let me even access the audio settings. So whenever I try to open a meeting, as soon as I reach the part about activating my audio, my computer is becoming really slow and it's giving me an error message (Zoom Meetings has stopped working - Hang on while Windows reports the problem to Microsoft...).  I upgraded my hardware only to some degree, but more than enough to launch games, make video calls and watch live streams. So I personaly don't believe it's a problem of my setup, even though my screen almost freezes entirely. Furthermore this problem also occurs then I open the audio settings in zoom (so without trying to participate in a meeting). 

(I just installed zoom again, so it shouldn't be a driver problem.)

Problem in giving a user role to our team member

I've ordered and paid a one year licence for Zoom Workplace Pro for two members with a discount for non profit organisations. I only wanted to pay this on behalf of my organisation because others don't have a right to do this. I'm the admin.
I don't need Pro version, so I changed the basic version for myself. I thought that now I can give this Pro version for two team members who need it in their work. The other one went fine but the other one not - the ad says that due to cancellation they cannot proceed. The cancellation might refer to a cancellation they made for a monthly licence of Zoom that they had before. Now it only suggests that they can take a monthly Zoom but we don't want to pay more because we can't use even this that we already paid. 
I wonder what we should do to get this to work?? Please help!

What do you like best about being a Zoom Community Champion?

Because I get first-hand information and know from the community where the most problems are or what is best received by the users. But the best thing is the collaboration with other community champions 🏆

 

How would you describe the Zoom Community in a few words?

Amazing!! 💙

 

What is your favorite Zoom product and why?

I can not choose only one that is too difficult!! I would say the Zoom Client 😄... no Zoom Meetings is what I use the most.

 

What's a fun fact you'd like to share?

Zoom Client is soooo goood that we don't talk about. We just use it and that shows that there are almost no issues and the best thing is.... you guys keep bringing in more and more features!!! That's crazy! 🔥

It is iritating to say the least.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
