Hi!
I’m unable to share my screen in the Zoom client while using Fedora 40 with KDE and Wayland. However, screen sharing works fine with Fedora 40 and KDE using X11. I’ve tried using the Zoom RPM, Flatpak, and Snap packages, as well as the Pipewire option for screen sharing, including DBuss session option, org.gnome.* option, but none have resolved the issue. While I can use the web version of Zoom with Wayland, it lacks options as the desktop client.

Operating System: Fedora Linux 40
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.1.0
Qt Version: 6.7.0
Kernel Version: 6.8.8-300.fc40.x86_64 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Zoom client: 6.0.2

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this issue with Zoom on Wayland?
Thank you!

This used to work. But after last update of zoom stopped working. Do you have any other idea?

Zoom Flatpak Version 6.1.5.871

Hi!

I am using Fedora 40. In my experience, the most effective method for utilizing Zoom is to download it from the Zoom website. Additionally, it is advisable to use X11 rather than Wayland for screen sharing.

Cheers,

Ok, thank you.
Indeed the rpm version works.
It seems that the fix for flatpak is comming:
