Preamble

  • Broadcasting a conference-type meeting in a Video Streaming stream rather than within the kMeet application has several advantages:
    • Large-scale public broadcasting without having to restrict access to an audience limited to invited people.
    • Attract 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.
    • Allows to reach an unlimited number of viewers.
    • 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: viewers 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 smoother and more presenter-focused stream.
    • Higher broadcast resolution when kMeet can be limited by bandwidth constraints and lower video quality to avoid network overload.
