Zoom on Ubuntu 22.04 will not allow switching shared applications

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.
