This guide details the Auto DJ feature of Infomaniak's Streaming Radio service, allowing you to generate a 24/7 live radio station from your own audio content (music, shows, podcasts, jingles, etc.) previously uploaded to your storage space.
Preamble
- Auto DJ relies on the files stored in your Infomaniak AOD (Audio on Demand) space to create a linear stream.
- You can use this same space for your on-demand file storage needs.
- You organize your media, create your playlists, and schedule their broadcast via an intuitive calendar interface.
- This allows for continuous broadcasting without the need for an active encoder at all times.
Activate Auto DJ
To start Auto DJ:
- Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
- Click directly on the name assigned to the product concerned.
- Click on the name of the audio stream concerned:

- Click on Auto DJ in the left sidebar menu.
- Read the warnings and click the button to Activate Auto DJ when you are ready:

- Select the AOD space to use if you already have one.
- Apply your choice by clicking at the bottom right:

- There you go, the AOD space for your audio files to broadcast is at your disposal:

Organize, import your audio files
The first step is to prepare your content. The tool currently accepts files in .mp3 and .aac formats. You can import an entire folder containing your audio files:
Once imported, you can organize your files into dedicated folders within your storage space to facilitate the management of your library:
Metadata management
It is possible to modify the ID3 tags (title, artist, album, cover) directly from the interface so that this information is displayed correctly on your players:
Create playlists
Once your files are imported, you can group them into playlists:
- Manual playlists: precisely select the tracks and their order.
- Automatic playlists: set smart criteria (by tags, styles, or artists) to let the system dynamically generate the playlist:

Schedule broadcasting (Planning)
The scheduling tool allows you to manage your program grid in a very detailed way:
- Slot programming: arrange your broadcasts by playlist or by folder on a weekly calendar:

- Filler playlist: configure a backup playlist that will be broadcast automatically when no specific program is scheduled, ensuring an uninterrupted stream.
- Live / AutoDJ transition: you can schedule time slots or automate the resumption of the Auto DJ stream as soon as an encoder (external source) stops pushing its stream.
Advanced audio settings
To ensure professional listening quality, several processing options are available:
- Audio normalization: standardizes the volume level of all your files to avoid volume differences between two tracks.
- Transitions: set crossfades and overlaps between tracks:

Integration and statistics
The stream generated by the Auto DJ is a standard streaming stream that benefits from all the tools of the Infomaniak ecosystem:
- Infomaniak Player: Automatic display of the current title and broadcast history.
- Multi-format broadcasting: Support for HLS and stream transcoding.
- Advanced statistics: Precise tracking of your audience in real-time and detailed reports.

This guide explains how to configure the floor plan when it has been activated for an event (as part of the Infomaniak ticketing system).
Prerequisites
- Own and have activated a floor plan for the event in question.
- Have activated and created at least one pricing zone.
Apply zones to the floor plan
To access event pricing from the ticketing system:
- Click here to access your product management on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
- Click directly on the name assigned to the ticketing system concerned by the event.
- Click on Programming in the left sidebar.
- Click on Events in the left sidebar.
- Click on the event in question.
- Click on the Pricing tab.
- If the event has multiple dates, this section is replaced by “Dates” which opens a calendar.
- Click on the calendar date to join the pricing…
Once in this menu, it is necessary to have at least one zone activated:
- Click on the action menu ⋮ located to the right of the zone in question.
- Make sure the box “Zone with numbered seats” is activated:

- A seat symbol must be next to the zone name in the pricing list.
- Then click on the “Manage floor plan” button above the zones to open the floor plan management menu:

The logic here is to assign a zone to each seat, row, or section according to the needs of the event.
For example, below, a green zone and a red zone are distinguished. To assign seats to a zone:
- Select the seats by hovering over all the seats, or to select the entire row, click on its number.
- Click on each seat to configure, a black circle surrounds them indicating that they are selected.
- It is possible to click on the name of each row (A, B, C) to select all the seats in the row, and even to click on the name of the section (here, right, left, middle) to select all the seats in the section.
- Then click on the area to link to the selected seats.
- In the Zones menu that appears in the lower half of the page, click on the zone to assign.
- The background of the selected seats will change to the color of the zone.
- Repeat the operation for each remaining zone to assign.
Block online sales for a seat/row/section
By default, all seats are available for online sale.
To block the online sale of certain seats, configure the restrictions directly in the seating plan:
- To block the sales of certain particular seats, open the seating plan management menu as explained above, and select (black circle) the seats/rows/sections.
- Instead of selecting the zones in the bottom menu, choose the type of Access:
- No restriction = default state, customers can purchase the seat
- Reserved for organizers = Only people with Admin status on the organization can purchase the ticket from the ticket office
- Reserved for resellers = Resellers can make the purchase from the ticket office (normal users/collaborators on the organizer with sales rights)
The section visible at the bottom named “Reserve” is no longer used and can be ignored.
Once the plan is configured, the seats can be put on sale. Make sure to assign a price to each zone.
See who a specific seat is assigned to
To obtain information related to seat assignments and identify the people who have reserved or occupied each seat according to the seating plan, you can use the seating plan management menu which displays purchased seats with an orange fill.
If you click on the seat, the order information is displayed, and a link to the customer record is provided:

This guide explains why some attachments sent from Microsoft Outlook arrive in winmail.dat format on your e-mail address hosted by Infomaniak, and how to permanently resolve the issue on the sender's side (where it originates).
Preamble
winmail.datis the container used by Outlook/Exchange when a message is sent in RTF / TNEF.- It encapsulates the formatting and attachments.
- Many non-Microsoft e-mail clients do not know how to interpret TNEF:
- The formatting disappears and the attachments become a single
winmail.datfile.
- The formatting disappears and the attachments become a single
Important: the generation of a winmail.dat does not depend on Infomaniak; the issue arises with the sender (Outlook/Exchange) and must be corrected on their device or by their Microsoft 365 administrator.
Resolving the issue (actions to request from the sender)
The most effective solution is to modify the Outlook configuration on the sender's side.
Disable RTF/TNEF and resend the message in HTML or plain text
- Classic Outlook for Windows (Microsoft 365/2021/2019, Win32 application)
Menu:File > Options > Mail
Composition:Compose messages in this format:select HTML (or Plain text).
Message format: inWhen sending messages in Rich Text format to Internet recipients, select Convert to HTML (or Convert to plain text).
Case by case (single e-mail): in the message window, tabText format> select HTML.
- New Outlook for Windows (Outlook on the Web-based application)
Menu:Settings (gear icon) > Mail > Compose and reply
Message format:Compose messages in:select HTML (or Plain text).
This client does not expose an RTF option; sending in HTML/text avoidswinmail.dat.
- Outlook on the Web (Exchange Online/Outlook.com)
Menu:Settings > Mail > Compose and reply > Message format> select HTML (or Plain text).
- Outlook for Mac
Menu:Outlook > Preferences > Composition> check/uncheck Compose messages in HTML by default.
For a single message: in the composition window, tab Options > toggle HTML or Plain text.
Notes: if the sender has attached files, they will be readable by all recipients as long as the message is sent in HTML/text. Zipping the attachments (.zip) does not prevent Outlook from encapsulating the message if RTF/TNEF is still active.
Disable RTF for specific recipients (you, for example)
- Classic Outlook Windows: open the Contact card > double-click the e-mail address > Outlook Properties > Internet Format: select Send as plain text only (or Let Outlook decide if the admin already forces the conversion).
- Clear the auto-complete (it may “remember” RTF for a recipient):
File > Options > Mail > Send messages > Empty the Auto-Complete List, then retype the address manually for the next send.
- Microsoft 365 administrators (on the sender's side): in the Exchange Admin Center:
Mail flow > Remote domains > Default> Rich Text format: select Never. In PowerShell:Set-RemoteDomain Default -TNEFEnabled $false.
Failing that: use another client to send (e.g., Thunderbird), or check that Calendar invitations are sent in iCalendar (File > Options > Calendar > enable Use iCalendar format for external recipients).
If you do not wish to recontact the sender
You can extract the content of winmail.dat with TNEF decoding tools (online or desktop applications). Search for “open winmail.dat” and choose a reputable tool for your system (Windows, macOS, Linux). This usually restores the attachments, but it is not a lasting fix. Moreover, privacy and security are not guaranteed during these operations.

- … Swisscom Internet Box
- … Fritzbox
- … Jeedom
- … Linux via ddclient
- … potentially anything thanks to the API…
The various services offered by Infomaniak are all compatible with the corresponding standard protocols (CalDAV/CardDAV for contacts & calendars for example), therefore if you encounter a problem with third-party software, contact its publisher or a Partner and consult the support policy as well as article 11.9 of the Infomaniak Terms of Service.
Guides for any other use

- Transferable — you must own it with another provider to transfer it to Infomaniak.
- Unavailable — it will unfortunately not be possible to order it as long as it is not abandoned by its current owner.

This guide details the management of the Organization Directory, i.e., a “special” address book present in the Infomaniak Web app Contacts (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/contacts).
Preamble
- The Organization Directory is "automatically created" by the various users who make up one of the Organizations to which your user is attached.
- If work teams are created within the Organization, then these form groups visible in the Organization Directory:

- This address book is automatically synchronized with all internal users of your Organization.
- An administrator of the Organization can make certain entries in the directory private to hide them from users with fewer permissions:

- It is not possible to export it or rename it.
- You can change its display color:

- You can change its display color:
Access the directory
If your login matches and belongs to one (or more) Organizations, it is possible to access the various directories of these Organizations:
- Click here to access the Infomaniak Web app Contacts (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/contacts).
- Click on the chevron to the left of the name of the Organization concerned.
- Click on Directory of {Organization name}…
- The contacts of the selected Organization are displayed on the right:

Modify the details of a directory contact
You can do many things (copy, export the card, view email exchanges or calendar events, add to favorites, call, etc.) by clicking on the card of a contact in the Organization Directory address book but you will not be able to modify the details on behalf of the person concerned:
To modify the main information, the person concerned (the one for whom a change must be made) must log in to their profile and modify it (see below):
A. First & last name
To modify the first name and last name visible in the directory, the user concerned (here faq@exemple-domaine.ch) must log in to their account and modify their details. Refer to this other guide on this subject.
B. Email address
To modify the email address visible in the directory, the user concerned must log in to their account and modify their details. Refer to this other guide on this subject.
C. Phone number
To modify the phone number visible in the directory, the user concerned must log in to their account and modify their contact details. Refer to this other guide on this subject.

This guide details the two main types of identifiers. They are distinct, even if the address format may be identical.
Infomaniak Account vs Email Address
Here is a summary of these 2 types of identifiers:
| Type of Identifier | Usage | Where to Use It | Associated Password |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infomaniak Account (login identifier) | Access all of your Infomaniak services. | Login to: | Password set when creating the user account. ⚠️ Different from the password of your email addresses. |
| Email Address Hosted with Infomaniak | Send and receive emails. | SMTP/IMAP Connection…
| Password specific to each email address (there can be several). ⚠️ Different from the Infomaniak account password. |
What to do in case of connection issues?
It is not necessary to contact Infomaniak Support (who does not have any of your passwords)…
- Issue with the Infomaniak account? Reset the account password.
- Issue with an email address? Reset the email password.
Explanations
- Like many other online services, you registered with Infomaniak using a personal email address.
- This personal email address serves as your login identifier when you want to access Infomaniak services.
- This login identifier has its own password (set when creating your Infomaniak user account – your personal email address, see above).
There is no link between…
- … this identifier/password pair described in points 1/2/3 above…
- … and the email addresses you created or obtained later with Infomaniak.
A link might exist if the address is the same (for example, you signed up with the email address toto@abc.xyz and you also manage this same email address at Infomaniak) but even in this case, the password will very likely be different — once for the login identifier toto@abc.xyz and once for the email address toto@abc.xyz.
Other identifiers?
Acquiring other Infomaniak products involves obtaining other identifiers, such as those required for FTP, MySQL, SSH connections, etc., but these identifiers are completely independent of the two types described above.

This guide explains how to manually allow or refuse participants in a kMeet meeting.
Preamble
- To approve participants, you must have the status of moderator.
- To be a moderator, you must either be the first connected or designated later.
- Generally, a person generates a kMeet and will therefore be the moderator throughout the meeting.
- However, if a meeting is created from the Infomaniak calendar, a kMeet link can be added, which will be accessible to all event participants; it is therefore recommended that the event initiator connect a little before the participants to configure their meeting (add a waiting room or a password, etc.).
Approve or refuse participants
To be a moderator:
- Start kMeet via kmeet.infomaniak.com or from one of the apps for computers or mobile devices.
- Click the button to start a new meeting:

- Click the chevron below the meeting name to expand the advanced options.
- Enable participant control:

- Start the meeting.
- Share the meeting link or code and if necessary the password and or the encryption key with your participants.
- When your participants try to join the meeting, an audio notification invites you to authorize or not authorize them to join the room:

- You can also set a participant as a new moderator during the meeting, or just below, exclude them from the meeting:

- The moderator can also disable the "waiting room" enabled in point 4 above once the meeting has started:
- Click on the icon ○○○ in the toolbar.
- Click on Security options:

- Disable the option to no longer have to manage new arrivals in the meeting:

Moderation options
Other moderation options are available:
- Click on the icon ○○○ in the toolbar.
- Click on Settings:

- Click on Moderation.
- The options allow you to manage the expected behavior when new participants connect:

- all participants start with the microphone muted
- all participants start with the camera off
- all participants have the same interface display as the moderator (display of such participant in large on the layout, etc.), modifiable at any time by the users but the moderator can update at any time to enforce compliance
- recording will use the same interface display as the moderator (display of such participant in large on the layout, etc.)
- reaction emojis do not produce any sound
