Sharing in Wayland Works Only The First Time

Currently using Arch Linux with Wayland.  With the latest zoom installed (6.6.0), using pipewire for sharing.  The first time I try to share a screen or window, it works fine.  If I stop sharing and try to share again, it only shares a completely black window or screen.  

Immediately after I stop sharing the first time, I get the following messages in ~/.zoom/logs/zoom_stdout_stderr.log

*** pw_stream_set_active called from wrong context, check thread and locking: Operation not permitted
*** impl_ext_end_proxy called from wrong context, check thread and locking: Operation not permitted
'this->recurse > 0' failed at ../pipewire/src/pipewire/thread-loop.c:62 do_unlock()

I cannot figure out if this is a zoom problem or a pipewire problem.

Everything works fine in X11.

Still same issue with Zoom 7.1.5 (4332). The first time I screen share, it works, but the second time I try to do it, it says "Screen sharing has stopped as the shared window is closed", after I approve it in the portal window, even if I click on share entire screen.
