Broadcast a kMeet meeting via live Streaming mode
This guide explains how to broadcast an online meeting kMeet in a separate stream accessible via a unique URL thanks to Streaming Vidéo Infomaniak.
Preamble
- Broadcasting a conference-type meeting in a Video Streaming stream rather than within the kMeet application offers several advantages:
- Large-scale public broadcasting without having to restrict access to an audience limited to invited persons.
- Attract a wider audience, such as conferences, webinars or live events where hundreds or thousands of spectators can follow the event without joining a private call.
- Allows to reach an unlimited number of spectators.
- No need to manage access for each participant, the stream is simply viewable via a link.
- A simple web browser is sufficient to access the streaming stream.
- Passive access: spectators are not forced to actively participate or interact; they can simply watch the event without registering or logging in, which is better suited for large events.
- No vocal interruptions or disruptions related to microphone management; this allows for a more fluid stream focused on the speaker.
- Higher broadcast resolution when kMeet can be limited by bandwidth constraints and lower video quality to avoid network overload.
Create the Streaming Video share link
Prerequisites
- Streaming a kMeet video stream within a Streaming Video stream is only possible with the kSuite Pro or Enterprise offer.
- You must be a moderator of kMeet to create a live broadcast link, but it is not necessary to have an Infomaniak Streaming Vidéo offer.
Next:
- Start kMeet via kmeet.infomaniak.com or from one of the applications for computers or mobile devices.
- Once in the meeting, click on the action menu â—‹â—‹â—‹ in the kMeet toolbar.
- Choose to Start live streaming:
- Click the button to Start:
- Wait for the video stream to be created:
- In the same place, once the stream link is displayed, click on the icon on the right to copy the URL corresponding to the live stream; paste the URL into a message for the participants or anyone who needs to watch the live broadcast.
- An icon displayed on kMeet along with an audible signal indicates the start of the broadcast via Streaming Vidéo:
The stream is broadcast continuously for a maximum of 24 hours and will no longer be accessible as soon as the kMeet meeting is stopped.
