Broadcast a kMeet meeting via Live Streaming mode

This guide explains how to broadcast an online meeting via kMeet in a separate stream accessible through a unique URL using Infomaniak's Video Streaming.

Preamble

• Broadcasting a conference-type meeting in a Video Streaming stream rather than within the kMeet app offers several advantages:
  • Public large-scale broadcasting without limiting access to an audience restricted to invited participants.
  • Attracting a wider audience, such as conferences, webinars, or live events, where hundreds or thousands of viewers can follow the event without joining a private call.
  • It allows you to reach an unlimited number of viewers.
  • No need to manage access for each participant, the stream can be viewed via a simple link.
  • Only a web browser is required to access the streaming feed.
  • Passive access: viewers are not forced to participate actively or interact; they can simply watch the event without registering or logging in, which is better suited for large events.
  • No voice interruptions or microphone-related disturbances; this keeps the stream smoother and focused on the speaker.
  • Higher streaming resolution when kMeet might be limited by bandwidth constraints and lower video quality to avoid network overload.

Requirements

• Streaming a kMeet video feed within a Video Streaming feed is possible with the kSuite Pro or Enterprise offer only.

7. A symbol on kMeet and an audio signal will indicate the start of the live stream via Video Streaming:
   

The stream will run continuously for up to 24 hours, and will no longer be accessible once the kMeet meeting is stopped.
