Wayland screen sharing broken with GNOME 41 on Fedora 35

Hi,

since this is not addressed by Zoom I wrote a small Gnome Extension so you can share your screen while using Gnome and Wayland.

See https://github.com/julianpollmann/zoom-wayland-gnome-extension

I don't know about you folks, but after following this thread shortly since its inception, I simply don't find any of these 'updates' to be credible. Given the history on this issue, it clearly is a very low priority item for Zoom's Management that will keep getting pushed in face of new feature development. More evidently so when you see silly issues with very low usability impact being fixed release after release. My favorite for the upcoming release is 'Resolved an issue with font color when using dark mode'. Yeah, let's fix that but keep our Linux client crippled.

Meanwhile in this thread we've gone from soon, to 5.10.6 or 5.11.0 or 5.11.x, which might as well be 5.11.infinity. And still no target date.

Have any of you that are paid customers received an official reply from Zoom support  or your sales rep. regarding the state of Wayland support, other than the ill advised 'fix' that has been mentioned in previous responses? Anything that would corroborate what has been relayed in this thread by @YaBoiB ?

Hello All, 

 Tentative release date is June 20th for version 5.11.0. Please note that this is a tentative release target date. We hope to make this date but it can be moved. 

Thanks all. 

Regards,

Brandon

The more disgusting part is that today when trying to join a meeting zoom crashed 13/13 times on wayland and worked first try on xorg. (this was on kde plasma) Litterally disgusting zoom.

Hello All, 

 I just wanted to point out that we have created a support article to keep everyone updated on any changes or any future fixes.

I hope this helps with tracking. 

Reminder that you can subscribe to release notes if you were not aware. Have a great day everyone. Thank you all for your continued efforts on this issue.

Hey,

TL;DR: Enable Wayland in the GDM configurations in /etc/gdm/custom. conf Open /etc/gdm/custom. conf for editing (as you know, you must be root). Go to the line which looks like the following: [daemon] WaylandEnable=false Change it to (even if the line was commented): [daemon] WaylandEnable=true Save the file and exit.

Thanks

So far as I can tell this has nothing to do with the topic.

This topic is to discuss situations where Wayland is already enabled, so your suggested edit has no effect at all.

At least with version 5.9.3 is still working.

Has anyone tried 5.9.4 or 5.9.5.?

Btw does anyone know last 4 digits of version numbers 5.9.4.xxxx?

I've tested 5.9.6 and it has only whiteboard. 

June 15 and STILL WAITING for this fix.

Hello All, 

 The release notes for the Wayland fix have been posted in the Linux Release notes. 

Please know that after this is released I will be attempting to get as much of your feedback as possible, so please respond to this thread if you have any. 

As always, thank you to everyone in this thread for their time and patience. It is truly appreciated. 

Regards,

Brandon
