Introduction

• Broadcasting a typical conference-style meeting via a Video Streaming feed rather than within the kMeet application offers several advantages:
  • Public broadcasting on a large scale without having to restrict access to an audience limited to invited individuals.
  • Attracting a wider audience, such as for conferences, webinars, or live events where hundreds or thousands of viewers can follow the event without joining a private call.
  • Allows reaching an unlimited number of viewers.
  • No need to manage access for each participant; the feed can simply be viewed via a link.
  • A simple web browser is sufficient 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 disruptions related to microphone management; this helps maintain a smoother flow and keeps the focus on the speaker.
  • Higher broadcast resolution when kMeet may be limited by bandwidth constraints and lower video quality to avoid network overload.

Create the Video Streaming sharing link

Prerequisites

• You must be a moderator of the kMeet to be able to create a live broadcast link.
• It is not necessary to have an Infomaniak Video Streaming plan.

Then:

1. Start kMeet via ksuite.infomaniak.com/kmeet or from one of the applications for desktop or mobile devices.
2. Once in the meeting, click on the action menu ○○○ in the kMeet toolbar.
3. Choose Start Live Broadcast:
   
4. Click the button to Start:
   
5. Wait for the Video Streaming feed to be created; a symbol displayed on kMeet, as well as an audible signal, indicates the start of the live broadcast.
6. In the same location, once the stream link is displayed, click 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:
   

The stream is broadcast continuously for a maximum of 24 hours, and will no longer be accessible once the kMeet meeting is stopped.
