Hello everyone!
Zoom has released it’s version 5.11 with support for screen sharing on Wayland! Unfortunately it’s not working on EndeavourOS since the application doesn’t recognize the system as an Arch Linux, although it supports it.
Any ideas for a workaround for that?
Thank you!
This is a long shot but edit /etc/os-release and replace EndeavourOS with Arch Linux. Not really sure if it would work but perhaps worth a try?
Edit:
Just converted my Arch Linux installation to Debian 
So if Zoom also reads the same file to determine which operating system is running, then I guess it should work!
Now back to converting Debian back to Arch 
Shouldn’t zoom be looking for packages and dependencies? This is the first time I see an app check requirements like that, laziness perhaps?
I mean, it’s nice to see Antergos being mentioned but they seem to have missed the whole of EndeavourOS!
I’m not sure how to mend this but screen sharing should work on your browser.
The standard solution for screen sharing on Wayland is xdg-desktop-portal. Installing these and following the README and FAQ should get screen sharing working at least in Chromium and etc;
In the FAQ it says for screen sharing in the native client in GNOME
You may want to experiment with something like gnome-dbus-emulation-wlr, but we do not directly support that project.
I have no idea if this works and I’m guessing it’s gonna be quite slow but perhaps give it a try?
Only if you have your web-browser’s settings allowing for ZOOM in the first place, me thinks.
Also try ID_LIKE=arch in /usr/lib/os-release
