  • The Web kMeet app (online service kmeet.infomaniak.com) is also compatible.
  • Screen sharing is not yet possible with the mobile iOS app.
• If this is your first use or first screen share, the permissions requested by the operating system (macOS, Windows...) or the browser (Chrome, Firefox...) may require a restart of the application and consequently an interruption of the meeting.
