Zoom screen sharing not working on Ubuntu 24.04

I have two computers that are both running Ubuntu 24.04 with Zoom 6.4.13 (2309) installed from the .deb. On one computer I am able to share the screen, but on the other, I cannot for some unknown reason. When I select "share" at the bottom of the zoom meeting window, it opens up the "Select a window or application that you want to share dialog", but when I select what I want to share and hit the "share" button at the bottom, nothing happens. The same procedure on the other computer then opens up a second system dialog asking me what screen to share and then it shares the screen, but on this computer, nothing happens.

 

What is the problem and how might I go about diagnosing it?

 

Thanks,

David

I’m running into the same issue on Ubuntu 24.04—screen sharing just doesn’t respond, even though all the permissions look fine. I tried reinstalling Zoom and making sure Wayland wasn’t the default session, but no luck so far. Hopefully Zoom pushes an update soon with better support for the new Ubuntu version. you can also check this thread https://community.zoom.com/t5/Zoom-Meetings/Screen-Share-is-broken-on-wayland/m-p/204495
