Live transcribe a kMeet meeting (automatic captions)

Update 07/13/2026

This guide explains how to use the automatic transcription feature of kMeet, Infomaniak's ethical and free video conferencing solution, which allows you to display real-time subtitles during meetings, making it easier to understand conversations and meeting the needs of accessibility, and even translation at a later stage.

 

Prerequisites

  • At a minimum, the moderator of the virtual meeting must have kSuite (Business or Enterprise plans only).
  • If subtitles are activated, all participants (even anonymous users or those without kSuite) can activate the automatic transcription feature.
