I've been running it this way since the support was added in Zoom 5.10. If you have enableWaylandShare=true in your zoom config, then it will fail without the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP lie saying your environment is not compatible. Sometimes you may also need to force PipeWire as a backend. All of these are kindly documented by the Arch folks: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Zoom_Meetings#Wayland
That worked, thank you! I didn't know that I also needed to manually edit zoomus.conf (and in my case, manually tell it to use Pipewire as the screen capture mode).
For future reference, in early 2024, I was able to get screen sharing in Zoom working on a fully-patched Fedora KDE/Plasma system by making the following 3 changes:
* Run Zoom with an extra environment variable: XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME * Edit ~/.config/zoomus.conf and set enableWaylandShare=true * Within the application, Settings -> Screen share -> Advanced -> Screen capture mode on Wayland to "Pipewire Mode"
I've been running Wayland full-time with KDE/Plasma for a little more than 2 years now, and this is one of only three applications that gives me trouble. Plus rofi that can't do windows switching (maybe someday KDE will support wlr-foreign-toplevel-management, or some other mechanism to query active windows and things like that?)Please file a bug to ask for support in KWin: https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=kwin&component=wayland-generic
I may, though I'm very surprised no one else has already done so.
Meanwhile, in looking into the rofi Wayland fork, I somehow
stumbled upon this:
https://wayland.app/protocols/kde-plasma-window-management, which
looks perfect, except for the caveat "Only one client can bind
this interface at a time." (which may make it completely useless).
Anyway, thank you for the Zoom tip, that's exactly what I needed,
