I am using Ubuntu 21.10 and have been having difficulties getting a Zoom session going. It was crashing each time I started a session, I found it necessary to restart Zoom usually 3, 4 or 5 times before it got going, once started it would stay working.
Ubuntu 21.10 uses a Snap install of the Zoom client
$ snap list zoom-client
Name Version Rev Tracking Publisher Notes
zoom-client 5.9.1.1380 167 latest/stable ogra -
In the log file:
~/snap/zoom-client/current/.zoom/logs/zoom_stdout_stderr.log
I found entries that pointed to Zoom not being happy running with Wayland
qt.scenegraph.general: texture atlas dimensions: 512x1024

This plugin does not support setting window opacity
Prior to version 21.10 Ubuntu's login screen had a button bottom right that gave you the option to select XOrg or Wayland, that has gone now so I needed a different way to select XOrg in preference to Wayland. I followed the instruction at:
[https://askubuntu.com/questions/1380829/no-option-to-choose-x11-on-logging-into-ubuntu-21-10][1]
This worked and the Zoom client now starts OK
Does anybody know how where to put this information and thus prompt a fix to make the zoom-client work with Wayland ?
