Zoom Workplace für Linux missing dependencies since v7.0.0

Technical situation:

Description / Issue / Solution:

I noticed an undocumented system requirement (`libopengl0`), which lead to an nonfunctional zoom workplace client.

The Zoom Workplace für Linux (https://zoom.us/client/latest/zoom_amd64.deb) needs since v7.0.0 the Debian package libopengl0 (https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/libopengl0 ), because the Zoom logs (`~/.zoom/logs/`) says something like “missing libOpenGL.so.0 ...”. After installing this package `apt install libopengl0` the Zoom Workplace works as before.

This required packages is not listen in https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0063458 .

The best way would be to specify this dependency within the Debian packages itself (Section: “Depends:”). Current package situation:

    Hey ​@ebarton 

    Thanks for flagging this — you're absolutely right, and this is a helpful find for the community.

    The missing libopengl0 dependency since Zoom Workplace v7.0.0 on Debian 12 (Bookworm) is a known gap in the current packaging. Here's a quick summary for anyone hitting the same issue:

    Immediate Fix:

    sudo apt update
    sudo apt install libopengl0

    This installs the library that provides libOpenGL.so.0, which Zoom now requires but doesn't yet declare as a formal dependency. After installing, Zoom should launch normally.

    Root Cause: Starting with v7.0.0, Zoom Workplace introduced a dependency on libopengl0, but this wasn't added to the Debian package's Depends: field — meaning it won't be pulled in automatically during installation. This is a packaging oversight that should be addressed in a future release.

    What we'd recommend to the Zoom team:

    • Add libopengl0 to the official Depends: list in the Debian control file.
    • Update KB article KB0063458 to reflect this new requirement for v7.0.0+.

    Hope this helps! If you're still seeing issues after installing the package, feel free to share your logs and we can dig deeper.
