Zoom doesn't open on Ubuntu 22.04 so I debugged a little and found:

```

$ sudo zoom
ZoomLauncher started.
Zoom path is: /opt/zoom
cmd line:
Start subprocess: /opt/zoom/zoom sucessfully, process pid: 11385
Can't load/root/.config/zoomus.conf
sh: 1: pactl: not found

sh: 1: pactl: not found
Something went wrong while running zoom, exit code is 1.
ZoomLauncher exit.

```

`pactl` is pulseaudio, see details here - https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+question/709476

 

I would encourage your engineering team to take a quick look and guard this; because 22.04 is released next month so you'll have a lot of users experiencing a complete crash.

 

Thanks for following up
