zoom.appimage

Repackages the official Zoom Linux tarball (zoom_x86_64.tar.xz) as an AppImage.

Build

./build.sh                                  # download and package the latest Zoom
ZOOM_VERSION=7.2.1.5760 ./build.sh          # a specific version
./build.sh /path/to/zoom_x86_64.tar.xz      # an already downloaded tarball

Downloaded tarballs are cached as build/zoom_x86_64-<version>.tar.xz.

The result is Zoom-<version>-x86_64.AppImage plus a .zsync file for delta updates. appimagetool is downloaded into build/ on first run.

resources/ holds the AppRun entry point, desktop file and icon added to the AppDir.

CI

.github/workflows/build.yml checks zoom.us daily and publishes each new Zoom version as a GitHub Release (tag v<version>) with the AppImage attached. It can also be started manually (Actions → Build AppImage → Run workflow), optionally for a specific version, and runs on pushes that change the build files.

Updates (Gear Lever)

The AppImage embeds update information pointing at this repository's latest GitHub release (gh-releases-zsync|pick2510|zoom.appimage|latest|Zoom-*x86_64.AppImage.zsync). Open it with Gear Lever and it will detect new releases and update in place; AppImageUpdate works too.
