You will be informed of their presence or refusal if they follow the procedure sent to them by email at the creation of the event.
Any updates to a planned event are also sent by email to all participants.
Automatically find the best time between participants
Before the creation of the event and therefore before the invitations are sent to the participants, it is possible to determine the best schedule suitable for all depending on the availability of each (other appointments entered in their calendars e.g.):
- Click here to access the web app Calendar Infomaniak (online service) calendar.infomaniak.com).
- Click on the button More at the top left of the interface to create a New event.

An asterisk *
next to a participant means that the user's availability is unknown because...
- ... or the person invited by his or her e-mail address is not a Infomaniak user: no user account exists with the specified email address...
- ... or the guest does not share its availabilities: she does not share her calendar at least in reading with the organiser of the appointment or has not transferred her calendar to at least one of the organiser's Organisations...

This guide explains how to broadcast an online meeting kMeet in a separate stream accessible via a unique URL thanks to Streaming Vidéo Infomaniak.
Preamble
- Broadcasting a conference-type meeting in a Video Streaming stream rather than within the kMeet application offers several advantages:
- Large-scale public broadcasting without having to restrict access to an audience limited to invited persons.
- Attract a wider audience, such as conferences, webinars or live events where hundreds or thousands of spectators can follow the event without joining a private call.
- Allows to reach an unlimited number of spectators.
- 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: spectators 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 more fluid stream focused on the speaker.
- Higher broadcast resolution when kMeet can be limited by bandwidth constraints and lower video quality to avoid network overload.
Create the Streaming Video share link
Prerequisites
- Streaming a kMeet video stream within a Streaming Video stream is only possible with the kSuite Pro or Enterprise offer.
- You must be a moderator of kMeet to create a live broadcast link, but it is not necessary to have an Infomaniak Streaming Vidéo offer.
Next:
- Start kMeet via kmeet.infomaniak.com or from one of the applications for computers or mobile devices.
- Once in the meeting, click on the action menu ○○○ in the kMeet toolbar.
- Choose to Start live streaming:
- Click the button to Start:
- Wait for the video stream to be created:
- In the same place, once the stream link is displayed, click on the icon on the right to copy the URL corresponding to the live stream; paste the URL into a message for the participants or anyone who needs to watch the live broadcast.
- An icon displayed on kMeet along with an audible signal indicates the start of the broadcast via Streaming Vidéo:
The stream is broadcast continuously for a maximum of 24 hours and will no longer be accessible as soon as the kMeet meeting is stopped.
