This guide explains how to use the screen sharing feature of kMeet, Infomaniak's ethical and free video conferencing solution.

Prerequisites

• Have the desktop app kMeet (desktop application for macOS/Windows) or the mobile app kMeet (application for smartphone or Android tablet).
  • The web app kMeet (online service kmeet.infomaniak.com) is also compatible.
  • Screen sharing is not yet possible with the mobile iOS app.
• If this is your first time using the app or sharing your screen, the permissions requested by the operating system (macOS, Windows, etc.) or the browser (Chrome, Firefox, etc.) may require a restart of the application, and therefore an interruption of the meeting.

Start screen sharing

To start sharing your screen:

1. Start kMeet via kmeet.infomaniak.com or from one of the applications for desktop or mobile devices.
2. Create or join a meeting room.
3. Click on the arrowed screen icon to Share your screen:
   
4. Read any warning message displayed by your device and grant permission to access the screen content.
5. By default, the entire screen will be shared in the next step, but you can also choose a specific window, such as that of an application, to restrict participants' view to a specific activity on the device.
   • Note that if the purpose of sharing is to allow participants to interact by drawing, you must choose to share the entire screen.

7. To stop the broadcast, click the toolbar icon again.
