Remotely control a device with kMeet

Update 06/15/2026

This guide explains how to use the remote control feature for a device whose screen is being shared, with kMeet, Infomaniak's ethical and free video conferencing solution.

 

Prerequisites

  • You must have the kMeet desktop app (desktop application on macOS / Windows).
  • You must share an entire screen and not just an application window.

 

Taking Control of a Device

For user A to take control of user B's computer:

  1. Start the kMeet desktop app and then create or join a meeting room where users A & B will be located.
  2. User A must click on the action menu ○○○ in the upper right corner of user B's thumbnail.
  3. User A must click on Start Remote Control, and follow the same steps to stop the remote control:
  4. User B receives a notification in the application to validate and accept the device control request.

It is also possible to simply annotate a screen share without taking control of the device.
