On Manjaro Linux with KDE Plasma 5.20.5, when trying to login using gmail or trying to join meetings by link, it fails because it cannot find application handler for Zoom:
Could not find any application or handler for zoommtg://us02web.zoom.us/join?
action=join&confno=REMOVED_BY_ME…REMOVED_BY_ME&browser=chrome&t=REMOVED_BY_ME
Edit: Fixed by replacing ~/.local/share/applications/Zoom.desktop
with /usr/share/applications/Zoom.desktop

Hi all, for the last 3 months I've been unable to get any sound/microphone in Zoom. I use https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/alibpulse (a differently packaged form of apulse), as an alternative to the full pulseaudio server. Initially (3 months ago) this worked fine, at which point it didn't (I don't know at what version of Zoom this started to fail, haven't checked). Within my logs it was clear that this has something to do with Zoom not being able to find/use
pactl
(which is part of libpulse, but not part of apulse).Well, doing some googling I found that Zoom actually supports ALSA (since version 2.0.57232.0713, see https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/205759689-New-updates-for-Linux). There is not other documentation about this that I could find, but when I looked into
~/.config/zoomus.conf
I saw there is a line withsystem.audio.type=default
. Again no documentation on this, so I played with it and when I set it tosystem.audio.type=alsa
Zoom started using ALSA directly, and now I have working audio/microphone in Zoom! I hope people find this useful :)EDIT 1: typos

@matthias @bidskii @ph2545 I was having the same issue with SSO login failing with the 'referrer policy' warning. In my case this turned out to be an issue with the embedded browser zoom was using to open my SSO login.
I was able to resolve this by editing
~/.config/zoomus.conf
with the lineembeddedBrowserForSSOLogin=false
. After restarting zoom, clicking "sign in with SSO" now opened my default browser (Firefox), and I was able to successfully login.Found the idea from a somewhat similar GitHub issue: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/69352

I contacted the zoom support on 13th July 2016 and tried to lure them into creating a proper PKGBUILD respectively adopting this one, considering they are providing a package over very none standard ways to the Arch Linux community (downloading via a *foreign* site) and not through the official repo or the AUR. However there was little to no progress so far.
