Hello @julioherreradei If you're having trouble with Zoom screen sharing on a Linux machine, common solutions include:

Check Permissions: Ensure that Zoom has the necessary permissions to access your screen. Go to your system’s privacy or security settings and allow screen sharing.
Update Zoom: Ensure you are using the latest version of Zoom for Linux, as updates often fix bugs and compatibility issues.
Use X11 Display Server: If you're using Wayland, screen sharing may not work properly. Switching to X11 can resolve the issue.
Install Required Packages: Some Linux distributions may require additional packages for screen sharing, like xcompmgr or gnome-shell-extension-prefs.

These tips should help improve Zoom’s screen-sharing performance on Linux.
