ubuntu 24.04 zoom 6.1 minimized won't expand to show full meeting window

Everything worked in ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS and zoom 6.1.6.

Upgraded to ubuntu 24.04.1 and have one major issue: when I minimize the zoom window to a floating thumbnail, I can't restore the full size window.  Mousing over the double arrows (bottom right) I get "Show full meeting window" but clicking only causes the thumbnail to blink.

I have tried rebooting, upgrading to the newest zoom 6.1.11, and removing .config/zoom.conf & .config/zoomus.conf

Current system:

  • zoom 6.1.11
  • ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS
  • thinkpad x1 carbon gen11

Just updated to the edge zoom-client 6.2.3.2056 with `sudo snap install --edge zoom-client` and restoring full window works for me now. Thank you.

More info: I removed zoom 6.1.11 (sudo apt remove zoom) and installed zoom 6.0.12 with snap (sudo snap install zoom-client) -- the older version restores the full meeting window properly. Then I removed the snap version 6.0.12 and reinstalled the deb package 6.1.11  - the restore full meeting window process is broken again.

 

So this appears to be a problem with zoom 6.1.x and ubuntu 24.04.1

 

Looking for help/suggestions as I'd like to remain on the newest stable version.

Thank you for this, I was having the same problem

Followup: Background blur and Screen sharing did not work (on Ubuntu 24.04.1) with the snap, so downloaded the latest `zoom_amd64.deb` (version 6.2.3.2056) and

sudo snap remove zoom-client

sudo dpkg -i zoom_amd64.deb

and all is working as it should. Thanks!
