Linux cannot resize the participant screen or show more than 4 participants during sharing

Linux cannot resize the participant screen or show more than 4 participants during sharing.  

When sharing my screen or window the participant screen (video of participant) is a fixed size and cannot show more than 4 participants at one time.  When I am not sharing I have full control over the participant window and the contents are not limited to four participants. 

As reference:

• I use a single monitor. 
• I run Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS 
• Zoom 5.12.6 (173) 
• Large screen monitor 3440 x 1440 
• Dell Latitude 5591 

Any suggestions?

any updates ?

meeting participants are very small and I can't resize the window (make them bigger)

Same here. Super frustrating.

Interesting. I have had a related problem with Zoom on Windows. The GUI is pretty inflexible when resizing the participants window. When screen sharing this is especially noticeable as it limits the amount of screen you're able to share if you want to have the participants window and the screen you are sharing on the same monitor. 

Have you submitted feedback to Zoom?

Unfortunately I was unable to submit feedback as you have to your paid user to do it. 😐

The issue you describe is not the same. On Windows, it is possible to resize the participants' window while screen sharing, which is not possible at all under Linux. Hence, you can only see a maximum of 4 participants (which you can't even choose). This make interactions impossibles, or at best, much more complicated.
