share screen linux wayland broken

[franciscolucas]

Hi, I just installed Zoom client 6.1 on openSuSE and screen sharing is not showing any option anymore on Basic, but only under Advance tab, and there in this one I can only select Screen Portion, but also cannot confirm the screen sharing. Please fix it or let me know how to downgrade to previous version. Thanks in advance!

WORKAROUND :

I had the problem that zoom crashed after stopping the screen share using Debian trixie and gnome.

After installing cinnamon (which comes with pulseaudio instead of pipewire) and switching the login manager to lightdm instead of gnome it finally worked!!

apt install cinnamon
apt-get install lightdm

Same on Debian (sid) / Gnome: I can start/stop, and select just a window or the desktop. I don't have the "choose just this region" option visible (or missed it, I don't usually use that option).

I've got

```

# dpkg -l | grep pipewire
ii gstreamer1.0-pipewire:amd64 1.2.5-1 amd64 GStreamer 1.0 plugin for the PipeWire multimedia server
ii libpipewire-0.3-0t64:amd64 1.2.5-1 amd64 libraries for the PipeWire multimedia server
ii libpipewire-0.3-common 1.2.5-1 all libraries for the PipeWire multimedia server - common files

It now works here with Plasma 6. In Settings->Share screen->Advanced check that you have Screen Capture mode on Wayland set to Pipewire Mode. When I tested a beta version it had reverted to Original Mode.

Setting "Pipewire Mode" indeed did the trick! Strange "Automatic" does not work (yet).
Thanks to Zoom for fixing it in 6.20, and to all here testing and reporting.

Screensharing is working for me too with 6.2.10 on Arch with Hyprland using xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland.

Have to select Pipewire mode in the Screen Capture mode on Wayland (xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland doesn't support remote control mode).

Thank you for getting this fixed! I no longer need to use the PWA now.
