Embedding a video meeting on your WordPress site shouldn't mean sending your users to a third-party platform with confusing branding and a clunky interface. Your website is your brand's home, and your meetings should feel like a natural part of it. What if you could host secure, feature-rich video conferences directly from your own domain, with your own branding, and without writing a single line of code?

Today, we are excited to launch the all-new, deeply integrated plugNmeet plugin for WordPress. This plugin is your gateway to transforming any WordPress page or post into a powerful, self-hosted video conferencing room.

More Than Just a Meeting—It's Part of Your Site​

While our original plugin allowed you to launch your own no-code video conferencing service, this new version is a major leap forward, rebuilt from the ground up for an even deeper and more seamless integration. We focused on a user experience that feels like a native part of WordPress, both for you as the administrator and for your site visitors. From creating rooms in the backend to managing post-session artifacts, every tool you need is right where you'd expect it—inside your WordPress dashboard.

Let's explore the features that make this plugin the ultimate solution for self-hosted video conferencing on WordPress.

Seamless Integration and Powerful Management​

We built this plugin to be incredibly easy to use while offering the powerful features our users love.

  • Embed Anywhere with Shortcodes: Once you create a room, the plugin gives you a simple shortcode (e.g., [plugnmeet_room_view id="your_room_id"]). Paste it into any page, post, or even a widget, and you have a live meeting room. It works flawlessly with the classic editor, Gutenberg, and popular page builders.
  • Clean, Shareable URLs: Want a clean, professional link to share for your meetings? The plugin allows you to set a "Host Page," giving every room its own dedicated URL like yoursite.com/meetings/your-room-id/. This is perfect for direct sharing in emails or social media.
  • Full Backend Control: Manage everything from your WordPress admin area. The Plug-N-Meet > Rooms page is your command center to create, edit, and configure rooms, as well as access all post-session assets.

Effortless Recording Management with Merging​

Managing your session recordings is now more powerful than ever. If a session was stopped and restarted, you no longer have to deal with multiple video files. Our new Merge Recordings feature allows you to select multiple video segments and combine them into a single, continuous MP4 file directly from the WordPress backend. It’s a simple, intuitive way to create a polished, final version of your recording for distribution.

The New Artifacts Menu: Analytics and AI at Your Fingertips​

We've introduced a dedicated Artifacts menu for each room, centralizing all the valuable data your sessions produce. This is where you'll find:

  • Actionable Classroom Analytics: Go beyond simple participant counts. Download comprehensive Excel reports detailing participant engagement, talk time, connection quality, and more. Use this data to understand your audience and improve your presentations, turning raw numbers into pedagogical insights. For a deeper dive, see our guide on Classroom Analytics for Educators.
  • AI-Powered Summaries & Transcripts: Access and download meeting summaries and full speech-to-text transcription files generated by our AI Meeting Assistant. For more on our AI capabilities, see our guide on how to add an AI meeting assistant.

Built for Customization and Control​

We believe in giving you full control over your platform.

  • 100% White-Label Experience: The meeting room loads directly within your WordPress site's design. There are no third-party logos or branding. It's your meeting, on your website. For a deeper dive into customization, read our deep integration and white-label guide.
  • Granular, Role-Based Permissions: The plugin leverages standard WordPress user roles to give you fine-grained control. In the room settings, you can define exactly which roles can join as moderators versus attendees, and who gets access to view, download, or manage recordings.
  • Theme Developer Friendly: For those who need to customize the front-end display, the plugin features a powerful template overriding system. Developers can copy template files from the plugin into their own theme directory to safely modify the HTML structure, from minor tweaks to a complete redesign.
  • Extend with Webhooks: The plugin fires a plugnmeet_webhook_data action hook, allowing developers to easily process real-time meeting data. Use it to build custom logging, send data to a CRM, or create unique workflows. Learn more in our guide to building workflows with webhooks.
