Security and Privacy

Password Protection

Add a password to your meetings to prevent unwanted intrusions (zoom-bombing).

Waiting Room

Enable the waiting room to manually approve each participant before they enter the meeting.

Data Hosted in Switzerland

Unlike Zoom or Google Meet, your video conferencing data stays in Switzerland, protected by Switzerland\'s strict data protection laws.

No Tracking

kMeet does not analyze your meetings, does not profile participants, and does not sell any data to third parties. That\'s the Infomaniak promise.

Integration with kSuite

kMeet integrates seamlessly with other Infomaniak suite tools:

Calendar – Schedule meetings with automatic kMeet links
kChat – Launch a video call directly from a conversation
kDrive – Share files during the meeting
Email – Send invitations with the meeting link

Use Cases

Team Meetings

Daily stand-ups, weekly meetings, project check-ins... kMeet effectively replaces American solutions for your internal exchanges.

Client Meetings

Offer your clients a privacy-respecting video conferencing solution. A differentiating argument, especially in sensitive sectors (legal, medical, finance).

Training and Webinars

With 100 participants and screen sharing, kMeet is suitable for training sessions and small webinars.

Medical Consultations

Swiss hosting and GDPR compliance make kMeet an ideal solution for telemedicine.

kMeet Limitations

In the interest of honesty, here\'s what kMeet doesn\'t do (yet):

Webinars with more than 100 participants → use dedicated solutions
Real-time automatic transcription
Integrations with CRMs or third-party tools
Breakout rooms

For most daily professional uses, these limitations are not deal-breakers.

Conclusion

kMeet proves that you can have quality video conferencing without sacrificing your privacy. Free, no account required, unlimited duration, and hosted in Switzerland: it\'s the ethical alternative many have been waiting for.

Try it for your next meeting. Your data will thank you.
