Zoom Meetings (commonly shortened to Zoom) is a proprietary, cross-platform, cloud-based video conferencing platform.
Installation
Preferably, install zoomAUR from the AUR, since the files from the website will not allow self-updating.
Alternatively, zoom is also available as a flatpak: when choosing this option, replace ~/.config/zoomus.conf in the #Tips and tricks section by ~/.var/app/us.zoom.Zoom/config/zoomus.conf.
Tips and tricks
Virtual backgrounds
Zoom saves the default virtual backgrounds to ~/.zoom/data/VirtualBkgnd_Default and the custom virtual backgrounds to ~/.zoom/data/VirtualBkgnd_Custom.
Logs
Zoom saves the logs to /home/user/.zoom/logs/zoom_stdout_stderr.log.
Use system theme
Edit ~/.config/zoomus.conf and change the value of useSystemTheme to true, then restart zoom.
Disable Zoom mini window
Zoom's "Mini Window" feature allows to minimize the Zoom video, but keep it on top as an overlay. To disable it:
Edit ~/.config/zoomus.conf and change the value of enableMiniWindow to false, then restart zoom.
To share your screen on Wayland, install the required packages for WebRTC screen sharing, edit ~/.config/zoomus.conf and change the value of enableWaylandShare to true, then restart zoom.
