Zoom version 7 woes - side bar remains blank

This issue is likely tied to missing dependencies or a permission conflict with the Wayland display server, which Ubuntu 24.04 uses by default.

  1. Install missding dependencies
    sudo apt update && sudo apt install libegl1-mesa libgl1-mesa-glx libxcb-xtest0 libxcb-cursor0

  2. clear the zoom cache
    rm -rf ~/.config/zoom

  3. Try logging out and selecting “Ubuntu on Xorg” from the cogwheel icon at the login screen to see if functionality returns.

4)Use the Official .deb

sudo apt install ./zoom_amd64.deb
