Zoom does not detect my window when sharing screen on Linux (GNOME, and all WM, but works on KDE)

I tried to share my screen, but the only option there is Dekstop 1, can you guys fix this issue, so I can choose my window to share, since it's a little bit annoying if I share the entire screen, there's a  huge black box appearing on my screen, and my participant can't see my screen fully.

You guys can take Telegram as example, it supports the window sharing on GNOME, and majority of Window Manager. Or Zoom inside Browser. I think there's something wrong with the libx11 implementation.

 

  • OS: Arch Linux
  • Zoom version: 5.8.3
  • Window Manager: BSPWM, DWM, Sway

 "waiting for host to start" the meeting, error message,

 

OFTEN, but I AM THE HOST... help!....

 

why is ZOOM software so bad!!!.... I use 2 emails all the time, and send an invite to other one, but I log on as main one and get this nonsense on my iMAC & can NOT log in to MY MEETING....

 

I open the invite I get on my main calendar on my computer from sending the original invite on my hotmail/outlook account using CHROME on my imac.... but it won't let me , the HOST, join!?!>.... 

 

unless I open the other invite on my calendar on my iPhone and open that too... which is not always convenient and should not be needed... how can I fix this before I just quit zoom forever and go back to teams (which lacks the great green screen option of zoom)....??

We are planning a Celebration of Life meeting for a family member who died in Arizona but lived in various cities in the U.S. and in Asia, where her paintings are owned or displayed, and where she has/had many friends.  Is there a way to set up a Zoom session that can be joined by anyone who reads the Obituary (Can we include the Zoom entry information in that summary of her life place in 3 or 4 newspapers from places she had lived)?

I discovered today Zoom had recently adding some question types to the Advanced Quizzing and Polling feature, including Fill in the Blank.  Is there a way to have multiple correct answers possible for a fill in the blank?

 

For instance, if I enter a question "<blank 1> is the President of the United States.", is there a way for me to make the possible answer both "Joe Biden" and "Biden"?  It doesn't appear I can do that, but checking for sure.

 

Thanks in advance.

I have a personal and work Zoom account. My personal account is basic. My work account is licensed.

 

When I set up work meetings using my work Google account with Google calendar it keeps only using my personal Zoom account and not my work Zoom account. 

 

I have no idea how to change this. I have not been able to find a forum that has resolved this issue. Please help if you can.
