Screen sharing issues after recent Linux update

After a recent Linux update, screen sharing is not working the same way for me.
I can share one screen, but additional screens are no longer available to select.
This setup worked fine before the update.
I am using a multi-monitor setup and did not change any Zoom settings.
Has anyone else seen this, or found a workaround?

I am having the exact same issue with 6.7.2.  I've reinstalled Zoom, I've reinstalled Zorin OS (which is already using XOrg not Wayland which it sounds like for other users Wayland is the issue).  My next step is trying to figure out if I can install an older version of Zoom.  I hate it when $25B+ companies push out untested, breaking changes.

Hello there, 

 

We're sorry for the inconvenience you experienced. 

To assist with troubleshooting this issue, kindly submit a support ticket to our technical team. 

Kindly include this information:
What system are you using? X11 or Wayland? Which client version has the issue, and which older version worked correctly?
What is the exact behavior of the issue? Is it that other screens cannot be selected in the Share Select Window, or can other screens be selected but nothing happens after clicking Share, or does the screen sharing fail?
How are the multiple displays connected? Are they using a hybrid setup with both a discrete GPU and an integrated GPU?

I am having a similar issue. If I try to share a screen to my 2nd monitor, Zoom tells me to “Drag to another screen to share.” At present, I can only share when I move an app to the main screen. This is extremely inconvenient, and I’m very unhappy about it.
