OVERVIEW

About kMeet (Infomaniak)

kMeet is the video-conferencing product of Infomaniak Group SA, the independent Swiss technology company founded in Geneva in 1994 by Boris Siegenthaler and Fabian Lucchi — privately held, founder-led, with no venture-capital or private-equity investors on the cap table (the kdrive listing documents the same vendor in full). The proposition is simple and consumer-friendly: browser-based video meetings with no software install and no account required for guests — a host shares a link and participants join from any modern browser. It is available free and standalone, and is also bundled inside kSuite alongside Mail, kDrive, kChat and the Office suite, with integrations into Infomaniak Calendar for one-click scheduled meetings.

For an EU-sovereignty audit kMeet is a clean Swiss pick. It runs on Infomaniak's own Swiss data centres in Geneva — no hyperscaler underneath, software developed in-house — so meeting media and metadata stay on Swiss-located infrastructure under Infomaniak's direct control. The compliance footprint mirrors the rest of the estate: ISO/IEC 27001 (since June 2018), ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 50001, and B Corp (2025); Switzerland's Art. 45 GDPR adequacy decision keeps EU↔CH transfers SCC-free. On encryption, kMeet is built on the open-source Jitsi Meet / WebRTC stack: sessions are TLS-secured by default, and opt-in end-to-end encryption is available on up-to-date Chromium browsers and the desktop app (not currently on mobile). For always-on, cross-platform zero-access E2E, Tixeo or Wire remain stronger picks; for everyday GDPR-clean Swiss video with optional E2E, kMeet is an excellent free option.

Pricing is the standout: kMeet is free, with no per-meeting time limit and no participant account requirement, recording available to kDrive on paid kSuite tiers. Best fit: Swiss and EU teams, freelancers, educators, and public-sector users who want a no-friction, no-install, GDPR-clean Swiss alternative to Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams — especially those already using kSuite or Infomaniak Mail/Calendar, and anyone who wants meetings hosted on first-party Swiss infrastructure rather than a US provider's cloud.
