Subject: Persistent Screen Sharing Limitations on Ubuntu 22.04​

Description:

I'm encountering ongoing issues with Zoom's screen sharing functionality on Ubuntu 22.04. Specifically, I am unable to switch between shared applications without stopping and restarting the share. This limitation persists across both Wayland and Xorg sessions.​ I am running Zoom Version: 6.4.3 (827)

Steps Taken:

• Tested both the DEB and Flatpak versions of Zoom.

• Switched between Wayland and Xorg sessions to assess compatibility.

• Ensured all relevant dependencies are installed.

• Explored alternative methods, such as joining meetings via the Zoom web client.​

Despite these efforts, the issue remains unresolved.​

Impact:

This limitation significantly hinders productivity, particularly during collaborative sessions where seamless transition between applications is essential.​

Request:

I kindly request that Zoom's development team investigate this matter and consider enhancing the Linux client's compatibility with Ubuntu 22.04, ensuring full functionality of screen sharing features.​

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

We have observed if we are passing "from" and "to" Params in List meeting we are missing Type 3 records. Is this an expected behaviour? Ideally we should get the type 3 data as per doc.

Zoom’s decision to remove the "Slides as Virtual Background" feature isn’t just inconvenient—it’s bafflingly out of touch with how modern professionals, educators, and facilitators actually communicate in 2025. In one update, Zoom has stripped away a function that allowed presenters to engage, personalize, and elevate virtual presentations in ways that made sense for human connection in a digital world. Let’s be clear: the ability to be present alongside your content—not as a disembodied thumbnail in the corner, but integrated into the narrative space—was a game-changer. It humanized virtual presenting. It aligned with brain science about attention and visual anchoring. And most importantly, it gave people a reason to choose Zoom over less interactive platforms. Now? We’re back to the flat, boxed-in screen share experience of 2016—an interface that undermines every best practice in virtual facilitation. Presenters are minimized. Slides dominate. Audience attention drops. And ironically, Zoom—the platform that once promised to make meetings more personal—has just made them more mechanical. What’s worse is the silence around the change. No roadmap. No clear rationale. No replacement that matches the power and elegance of the original feature. For educators, keynote speakers, sales professionals, and facilitation experts who built workflows around this functionality, it’s a slap in the face. Zoom has effectively told its power users: “We’re prioritizing something else. Good luck.” Well, here’s the problem—those users are also Zoom’s influencers, advocates, and revenue drivers. Remove the tools they rely on, and they won’t just complain. They’ll move. To platforms that understand that visual storytelling and presenter presence aren’t nice-to-haves—they’re non-negotiables. Zoom, if you’re listening: walk this back. Fast. Or risk becoming the next tool that was great... until it wasn’t.

Hello,

Got this e-mail notification about signing it from the old iPhone after 1:16 PM PDT (USA). Model and its version number were correct. However, its device's city was way (>100 mi.) off in the same state. Also, haven't logged into Zoom from this iPhone for a very long time (years?). Zoom (free account) is used from Intel MacBook Pro about once a week like last week. Looked at the logged in the updated Zoom macOS app and saw nothing unusual. Looking at its logged in Zoom's Profile's showing connections show the correct iPhone and computer names and ? E-mail links looked valid like its zoom.us, zoom.com, etc. Confused. Did someone manage to log in from the same exact iPhone model, name, and iOS version from that far away city? Just in case, changed password if someone was used it. Going to keep iOS app signed out for now.

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. 🙂

We are preparing a conference event for Easter with the participation of Spanish and Portuguese speaking people. We want to translate in real time the speaker to the opposite language, i.e. a Spanish speaker to Portuguese and a Portuguese speaker to Spanish using Zoom captions with translation. We made several tests but we got results with very poor quality. It seems like Zoom does not understand well Portuguese (from Portugal people at least) and then the translation is frequently clueless. I've tested also using YouTube videos with caption enabled and comparing with Zoom captions in the speaker language, without translation. It seems that Zoom understand Spanish pretty well, but it does not understand Portuguese with an acceptable precision.

I'm using Zoom client 6.4.3 on Linux Mint.

Is there something that we can do to improve captions quality besides providing good sound?
Do I need to use a third party tool for this job? Please, can you help me? I need a quick solution. I already sent by email this question to customer care without an answer.

Thank you. Best regards.

When I attend a zoom meeting set up by another party, it has me logged in as wrong email/ profile.

I have one for my workplace and one for my business.

The business email (one I want to be on the profile for zoom meetings) is set to auto log in, the workplace email is not.

Yet, I am logged in as workplace email on the zoom meeting.

How is it pulling this email in, for me to change it?

Hi,

I would really appreciate any suggestions please. 

I use Zoom for online lessons and have noticed that, over the last couple of weeks, issues tend to arise after we've been on a call for anywhere between 30 and 60 minutes. Typically, my student's video and audio suddenly cuts out (even though the Zoom symbols indicate that their camera and mic are still on), so all I see is a black screen and I can’t hear them. However, they can usually still hear and see me.

This issue seems to be occurring only with students based in mainland China. I haven’t noticed any problems with students in Hong Kong or other parts of the world.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions for how to fix this?

Thank you,
Georgina

Hi,

The meeting 'template' for Zoom meetings is very limited right now from a security point of view. The only security options are 'waiting room'
See attached image.
It would be great to get more security attributes added to the template, such as

-Generate automatically meeting ID
-User computer audio only
-Authentication required

Could these extra attributes be added?
