Feature Request: Native Wayland support and optimization for Linux

Hello, I am writing to request full native Wayland support and optimization for the Zoom Linux client. Currently, many users (including myself) experience issues with screen sharing, window management, and overall performance when using Wayland compositors (GNOME/Mutter, KDE/Kwin).

Relying on XWayland is no longer a viable long-term solution as the Linux ecosystem is rapidly moving to Wayland by default. We need:

  1. Native PipeWire/Portal integration for screen sharing.

  2. Better resource management (CPU/RAM optimization) under Wayland.

  3. Fixes for screen flickering and window focus issues.

This is critical for users on modern distributions like Ubuntu 24.04/26.04 and Fedora.
