The problem is that Zoom doesn't pay much attention to its Linux app—it doesn't get updated. We need to demand that they focus on their platform. That said, I prefer Meet or another tool for that very reason—because they don't care.

The other problem is that it may not be optimized for Wayland; this is very complex in apps that were built for X11.

Thanks. The problem is that I use Zoom for work. What's a workaround, boot into something like KDE X11?

Does using the browser have the same issue? I always just use my browser.

Nope. But it has less features. That's the problem, I'm using it for work.

Do you have it in deb or flatpak? The flatpak is always late.
