Zoom chat history stopped saving in Ubuntu

[phsamuel]

I’ve noticed that Zoom chat history is no longer being stored locally on my system. This feature has been working reliably for years, but for about a month now, no chat history is saved. Previously, the chat files would appear under ~/Documents/Zoom, but no new folders are being created, and the history is missing.

I’m experiencing this issue on two separate laptops, both running Ubuntu 22.04. This is a significant concern for me, as I rely on the chat history to grade student participation in my classes. I only realized the issue after my first class, and I’m hoping it can be resolved before my next class on Thursday.

Thank you for your assistance!
