zoom freezes when stopping screen sharing on linux

[petrelharp]

I am running the latest zoom (6.2.5.2440) on the latest Debian (sid; using Wayland). This has been working fine, but recently when I *stop* sharing my screen (either the whole screen or one window), zoom freezes - immediately, when I click "stop share". The connection remains for some time - I can talk to the other person, and they can see my video (but my shared screen is frozen) - but after a few minutes zoom completely freezes. I have to manually kill zoom. I haven't figured out how to get any error messages out of it either.

This basically makes zoom unusable for me. Luckily, I'm not teaching a class right now.

Any suggestions how to debug this? Is this an issue that the developers are aware of?

Another data point: I started seeing this upgrading from Ubuntu 24.04 -> 24.10. Same Zoom version `6.0.12 (5501)` so seems likely to be a Wayland issue

Same issue on Fedora 40 I had the exact symptoms of OP. I grabbed the latest version (2440) and did a full reinstall with a download from the site and not the fedora app store (more recent on site than repos in fedora) not keeping any settings and it appears to work fine now when stopping screen sharing
