Ubuntu 21.04 freezes on zoom Screen share option

Today I upgraded from Ubuntu 20.04 to 21.04. It uses Wayland by default, also I have disabled my nvidia card (just selected Integrated Graphics from nvidia-settings). When I installed and tried zoom client from the Ubuntu Software I was not able to share screen on Wayland. Then I logged off and switched to Xorg session and tried the same thing. This time the zoom client freezed when I started to share my screen. There was not such a problem on 20.04, and I guess this is not solely related to Wayland.

Is there any fix for it?

Thanks!


Solution 1:

After upgrading from Ubuntu 20.04 to 21.04, I also faced same problem. You just need to do following steps.

  • Restart your system
  • There is gear icon (bottom right side) on login screen
  • Which have two options. First one is Ubuntu which is Wayland by default and another one is Ubuntu on Xorg.
  • You have to go for Ubuntu on Xorg

It works for me.
