Screen sharing doesn't work with Wayland

[Rodion]

Hi, I have trouble sharing my screen. There is no option to share a single window, etc. The only options are "Use system desktop capture," "Use system window capture," and "Whiteboard." The first two options show the whole desktop oversaturated and so bright that the others can't see any details. When I click Stop sharing, Zoom hangs and can only be closed forcefully (kill process) and restarted, connecting to a conference again. The only option is to switch to an X11 session and launch Zoom there. I read in a newsletter from 2024-01-22 that this bug had been fixed in version 5.11.1. But I use version 6.2.6 (2503), installed from .deb, and it's still the same.

My system configuration:

• Operating System: TUXEDO OS 4 (based on Ubuntu 24.04.1)
• KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.5
• KDE Frameworks Version: 6.6.0
• Qt Version: 6.7.2
• Kernel Version: 6.11.0-103009-tuxedo (64-bit)

• Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 5700U with Radeon Graphics
• Memory: 30.7 ГіБ of RAM
• Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon Graphics
• AMD GPU driver: 23.0.0

Hello @Rodion and @Geir,

Welcome to the Zoom Community! We're glad to have you here.

We're sorry for the inconvenience you experienced. Our engineering team advised that it should be fixed in the 6.2.10.4645 release.

We appreciate your patience.

Yes! I can confirm that it works provided that one has

"Settings->Share screen ->Advanced->Screen caputre on Wayland = Pipewire mode".

Thanks for fixing and case closed!

Thank you @MGSR ! I updated to 6.2.11.5069, and now the content of my screen is shown correctly, I can stop sharing without issues too. The only thing missing is sharing particular windows. A Pipewire Mode allows me to share a selected piece of the screen (wow! I didn't know about this option), but it's still not the same as selecting a window for sharing. Looking forward to seeing the implementation of the full functionality available with X.Org or Windows.
