Hi,

I've been using the zoom client on my NixOS laptop without issue for months now. Suddenly today, my OS updated Zoom to version 6.1.0 (198), which looks a lot different... and no longer allows sharing my desktop.

It shows me an error message, "Can not start share, we only support Wayland on GNOME with Ubuntu 17 and above, Fedora 25 and above...." and a bunch more specified flavors of Linux.

I've been using KDE/Plasma on Wayland since March, and have had zero issues sharing my screen in zoom until today.

Can you please allow screensharing again for other Wayland setups?

Cheers,

John

There are many advanced, subtle features in Zoom Meetings. However, a significant hole seems to be this: when running breakout rooms, some people may wish to be excluded from all breakout rooms. Other than manually assigning them, or manually moving them after breakout rooms are started, there is no way to make this simpler.

Here are some options that would help:

1) Have a feature checkbox to set individual users (set by host or by the user) to not go to breakout rooms, and have an icon in the meeting that shows they have chosen this

2) Designate in settings a character at the start of their name (e.g. * or _) that would automatically prevent them from going to breakout rooms

3) Have an option that if enabled automatically prevents users with no video from going to breakout rooms, since for many meetings, the personal touch in a breakout room means the participants want to see each other

The above features would, in my experience, greatly help, in meetings, facilitate the operating of breakout rooms. I have noted in many meetings that the host / co-host asks participants to rename themselves with a special character before the name if they don't want to go to breakout rooms, but then allowing that to be respected automatically rather than needing manual effort, would be helpful. Thanks.

When I am using Zoom and my physical environment is noisy, my Zoom audio gets super distorted, and I can no longer understand what the person speaking to me is saying. The AI chatbot was not helpful, and I can't find a clear, direct answer to my problem through searching. I use a MacBook Air and A2031 AirPods (2021). I have tried checking settings on both my AirPods and on Zoom, and I have tried "Test Speaker." The problem is that when I am on a call, the volume levels of my physical environment seem to suppress/distort the sound on my receiving end, to the point I can't understand words being spoken to me. Does anyone have any suggestions of how can I fix this issue?

This month, the Zoom desktop app has been taking forever to join meetings and then allow me to join audio, meaning I miss the first 5-7 minutes of meetings I try to join. 

A workaround I've found is using the Zoom app on my phone to join (I am not having the same issues there) until my desktop connects, and then switching but this is still an issue if I need to share my screen. 

I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the Zoom app on desktop on my laptop (PC, Lenovo Thinkpad). And am having the same issues. 

Has anyone experienced this and found a resolution?
