Unable to schedule meetings using Linux client

Hi,

 

I've been trying to use the Zoom desktop client on Linux but I've been unable to get the "Schedule a Meeting" functionality to work.  When I click on "Schedule" from the main screen, a new window open but it is completely blank and non-responsive.  I can't close it and it stays open even when I close the main app screen.  Ultimately, I have to kill it from the System Monitor.  I've tried this on multiple distributions (e.g. Ubuntu 22.04.3, Zorin OS 17, PoP!OS) and they all do the exact same thing.   Is this an Ubuntu issue (I realize these are all based on Ubuntu)?  I haven't tried it yet with Fedora but was curious if anyone else had seen this problem.

 

Thanks!

I have got exactly the same error on my Pop_Os when Zoom was installed via Pop!_Shop.
To resolve I uninstall Zoom.
Then Zoom was installed as described in Zoom documentation https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0063458#h_89c268b4-2a68-4e4c-882f-...

On Pop_OS just download file zoom_amd64.deb
Double click on it.
Push button Install.

That`s it.

Thanks for the post.  I just had the same issue on my Fedora 41 system, I'd had zoom installed for a few years and forgot where I installed it from.  On your advice I went to the Downloads page, got the RPM for Fedora 64 bit, and installed it on the command line (dnf install zoom_x86_64.rpm), and to my surprise it didn't mention 'upgrading' anything, just a fresh install.  Hitting the Windows key and typing 'zoom' showed two different zooms installed, "Zoom" and "Zoom Workspace".  So, going to the Software app in Fedora I found the old install of "Zoom" was the "Flatpak" version (a kind of portable package that's supposed to avoid dependency hell) but clearly wasn't working properly.  I uninstalled that from the Software app, and the one I'm left with from the RPM seems to work fine.
