I'd like to install Zoom on 22.04. This shouldn't be difficult...

Followed these instructions:

Using the terminal 
Download the DEB installer file from our Download Center
Open the download location using a file manager.
Right click in the file manager and click Terminal or Open in Terminal to open the terminal in the current location.
Type in the following command and press Enter to run it.
sudo apt install ./zoom_amd64.deb

"Zoom Workplace" appears in my apps.

I open it but get an error. Details:

Try downloading the .deb version of Zoom from their website https://zoom.us/support/download and then using right click, choose the Software Installer.

If you use X11 (Xorg) instead of Wayland then screen sharing works, remote control works, annotations work, etc.

It is hard to say for certain given that I cannot tell how your system is set up. This is how zoom version 6.

Make sure that you are launching zoom correctly. This is usually linked to /usr/bin/zoom or use /opt/zoom/ZoomLauncher directly.

I can give how I install zoom successfully on ubuntu 22.04 running Xorg. I download the deb and then use the terminal to do the install.

I usually download the zoom deb from their download center using a web browser which saves them to the ~/Downloads directory.

cd Downloads
sudo dpkg -i zoom_amd64.deb

sudo apt update
sudo apt --fix-broken install
/usr/bin/zoom # to launch zoom


if there are any problems with that, if have a gpu like nvidia which is not


configured can try


/opt/zoom/ZoomLauncher  --disable-gpu-sandbox

The --fix-broken install is asking apt to fix them for you:

apt-cache depends reports this on my version of ubuntu 22.04:

Checking that I am running X not Wayland.
