Please Fix Linux Wayland Annotation Bug When Screen Sharing

On Linux when other meeting members try to make annotations on my shared screen, what they draw does not line up with where they are drawing. They can be drawing a rectangle around something in the middle of the screen, and when they stop, i.e. when it shows up on the screen for everyone, it is offset to the bottom right of the screen, wayyyyy off from where they actually drew. Wayland is the future of Linux in terms of compositors, can you please update the Zoom meeting client to properly use Wayland libraries when it is installed, rather than just X.

 

Thanks.
