Hey together,
Zoom does not work for me anymore, one month already, and now I invested few time into this issue. Firefox doesn’t even trigger a message box anymore for opening the link when I go to a zoom link. The packager is linked to Garuda, so this is why I write here.
When I launch Zoom from the launcher or the Konsole, it will just do nothing and block the Konsole. There is no visible terminal output. Reinstalling did not help. It does not even work with sudo which, according to the error message, needs to be used with --no-sandbox. Only when I ran sudo zoom --no-sandbox, the Zoom application window actually showed up.
The upside is, we have been using BigBlueButton as a replacement since. Access is provided by our university and it’s quite okay, it works certainly better than I remember Jitsi to work.
Well, now I have been reading about why it might be sandboxed and it doesn’t sound nice, like the Chinese Totalitarian Party being able to capture your stream data.
My question is, how is Zoom supposed to be used in Garuda? I couldn’t quickly find anyone bringing this issue up. Being required to use “no sandbox” as an option seems ridiculous, defying its existence. Only one month ago, maybe after an update, it happened that I could’t use Zoom anymore.

Windows dual boot: Probably (Run as root to verify)
Failed units:
I just saw, there is a new Zoom update and just installed it. Then reboot.
Now it works again. It starts with a crash reporter window, but when clicking it away it shows up normally again.
