When I try sharing screen on zoom, I get the following error:
can not start share, wayland has not been supported yet, please use x11 instead
zoom version 2.0.106600.0904
Ubuntu 17.10
How can I solve the issue?

edit the /etc/gdm3/custom.conf file and uncomment the following line:
#WaylandEnable=false

I was having the same problem with Fedora 26. Looks like wayland is a window manager that some distros are using in lieu of X11 (Xorg). To see what window manager you're using you can use the following:
echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
In Fedora, I can select the desktop environment (gnome with Xorg) at the login screen which will enable X11 instead of Wayland - looks like you can do the same with Ubuntu.

I used this command and it worked fine for me but I think the lightdm won't be used anymore but this can probably help someone:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
If lightdm is not installed just run the sudo apt-get install lightdm and a screen with 2 options will popup pick lightdm and restart.
And btw this should also work:
sudo vi /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
uncomment #WaylandEnable=false
restart
