Similar to this topic, I would like to have dark mode on Linux.

As a Linux user, I feel that the topic didn’t fully address the kind of assistance both the original poster, users, and I were hoping for. The current setup still leans heavily on light mode, which can be pretty harsh on the eyes, especially during long sessions or late-night workflows. While there are three options to tweak the top bar and meeting background, they don’t touch the Zoom background itself, which stays glaringly white. That sudden brightness spike is jarring, basically being flashbanged at 3 in the morning.

So, a proper dark mode that darkens everything, not just fragments, would be a huge improvement. Including this in the theme selection or rolling it out in an upcoming Linux update would go a long way in reducing eye strain and making the experience more cohesive. Hoping this gets prioritized.

In a setting where Zoom is used to conduct a seminar, sessions are recorded with the “active speaker” option enabled, meaning whoever speaks gets featured in the main window (not gallery view), and hence should theoretically get featured in the recording (local recording enabled, in this case). Never had a problem with this setup until recently (September 2021).

The issue is as follow. The active speaker appears (is featured) in the main window, but the recording instead records the screen of someone else in the attendance (not speaking, apparently at random).  Hence, the actual active speaker does not appear in the recording, even if during the event the active speaker does occupy the main window. Instead, we get the recording of someone listening to the active speaker (and the sound of the active speaker). There is no way of knowing there is an issue with the recording until it’s too late. Any idea about how to prevent or fix this issue?

I have 2 machines running Zoom Workplace (v6.6.10) under Linux Mint (v22.2) Cinnamon (v6.4.8) and a 3rd running Windows 10 (22H2 b19045). On the Windows machine, I can open the Settings window and access all of the dialogs (video, audio, etc.). Under Linux (both machine), trying the same thing causes Zoom Workplace to crash and require restarting, regardless of whether the Settings are invoked via the gear wheel icon or from the Settings entry in the User menu. All 3 machines are 64-bit laptops of varying vintage and manufacture.

One of the Linux machines  has an external monitor and webcam attached; the other does not. The first one has only a touchpad; the 2nd has both touchpad and (wireless) mouse. There's no difference in the behaviour I've noted above; both crash Zoom immediately on trying to access or change Settings. 

Zoom Workplace under Windows was installed a few years ago via the downloaded installer app. Under Linux (both installations), I used Mint's Software Manager to install Zoom from the repository with no changes to the default location or settings. One of these machines has had Zoom for a couple of years (running on an HDD); one was freshly installed last summer following a clean Linux installation (complete overwrite of the SSD).  

I can't seem to find anything online about this particular problem, but because it's affecting both of my Linux-based machines, it's either something I'm doing or something that affects a Linux Mint Cinnamon installation specifically. Anyone else with Linux Mint experience out there have any suggestions on where to look next?

Thanks!

When I record meetings, Zoom is only recording the video of the person who has joined the meeting, not my video. It used to switch back and forth depending on the active speaker, but now that has changed. I'm a coach and having both sides of the conversation is essential for my business. It will record both videos in Gallery Mode, but not Speaker Mode.

I have tried "See myself as active speaker," but that's an untenable solution. I need to see my client's facial expression while I am speaking to do my job, and it's very jarring/unpleasant to see myself speaking. 

Is this happening to anyone else? is there a known fix for it? If I don't get this fixed, I'll have to leave Zoom and find another solution because this is an essential part of my business. 

Hello,

I have a Samsung tablet A which I've recently had to reset and now will not allow me to download zoom. I have Android 8.0 at present with no updates available.

My understanding is I can get an older version of zoom which hopefully might work. 

Is this the only solution and are there any older versions I can download?

Had zoom previously and worked fine.

Hi!

I'm trying to use Zoom Desktop on my laptop that is running Ubuntu Linux 25.10 with KDE installed :

I installed the RPM (but also tried Flatpack and Snap) and am having some troubles with the scaling of the application. I have a 2k display and the display scaling is set to 125% and it works on all applications (QT and GTK) except for Zoom: The font is very small on the one hand side and on the other hand side I cannot schedule meetings as the window that opens when scheduling a new meeting does not fit into displayed pane and I cannot scroll in it (and reach the "Save" button to save the meeting) - see the screenshot https://snipboard.io/V0aqZK.jpg
