You're hosting a webinar and ask a critical question: "Does this new feature seem useful to you?" The response? A few scattered "yes" messages in the chat, buried between "hello from Brazil" and a question about something else entirely. You have no real data, no clear consensus, and no way to gauge the true opinion of your audience.

Text chat is great for conversation, but it's a terrible tool for structured feedback.

At Plug-N-Meet, we believe that understanding your audience shouldn't be a guessing game. That's why we built a simple, powerful Live Polling feature directly into the core meeting experience. It's the definitive tool for transforming a passive audience into active participants and for making data-driven decisions in real-time.

When you search for "free video conferencing," you're looking for a simple, cost-effective way to connect with your team, clients, or community. The internet is full of "free" tiers from major SaaS providers, and they seem like the perfect solution.

But what is the true cost of "free"?

Too often, the price isn't on the invoice; it's hidden in the terms of service. You pay with your data, your brand identity, and your control. This article explores the hidden costs of "free" video conferencing and introduces a better, more empowering alternative.

We’ve all been in a large online meeting where the presenter asks, "Any questions or ideas?" and is met with a wall of silent, black squares. In a big group, people are often hesitant to speak up, and true brainstorming is nearly impossible. The meeting becomes a one-way lecture, not a two-way collaboration.

How do you spark real discussion and teamwork when you have dozens of people in one virtual space? You break it down.

At Plug-N-Meet, we've built a powerful and intuitive Breakout Rooms feature that allows you to seamlessly split a large meeting into smaller, focused groups. It's the ultimate tool for transforming a passive audience into active, engaged participants.

As an educator using Moodle, your goal is to create engaging and effective learning experiences. You want to add live, interactive video classes to your courses, but the options can be frustrating. You're either stuck with complex tools that require technical help, or you're forced to send your students to an external platform like Zoom, breaking the seamless flow of your course.

What if you could add a powerful, interactive virtual classroom directly to your Moodle course as easily as adding a quiz or a forum?

With the official Plug-N-Meet plugin for Moodle, you can. You don't need to be a developer, and you don't need to write a single line of code. This article will show you how to create a fully integrated, no-code video conferencing service right inside your Moodle site.

If you've ever hosted an online meeting, you know the feeling. You're in the middle of a critical point, and suddenly someone's dog starts barking through an unmuted microphone. Or, just as you're about to share your screen, an attendee accidentally shares their own, derailing the entire presentation.

A successful meeting isn't just about good content; it's about good management. The difference between a chaotic, unprofessional session and a smooth, engaging one often comes down to a single question: who is in control?

At Plug-N-Meet, we believe the host should always have the power to direct the flow of their meeting. That's why we built a simple but incredibly powerful Room Lock Settings panel. Think of it as your command center, allowing you to instantly transform the dynamic of your room to fit any situation.

The digital transformation of healthcare is accelerating, but for telehealth providers, the choice of communication technology is fraught with risk. Using off-the-shelf video conferencing tools can create a compliance nightmare. How do you ensure patient data is secure? How do you sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with a public cloud vendor whose data practices are a black box? How do you create a seamless, trusted experience for your patients?

The answer is to own your stack.

Building a telehealth platform requires a foundation of absolute control over your data and infrastructure. This is why forward-thinking healthcare companies are turning to self-hosted, open-source platforms like plugNmeet to serve as the secure communication core for their applications. This article explains how.

The term "white-label" is used a lot in the software world. Too often, it simply means you can replace the provider's logo with your own. You're still stuck with their user interface, their workflow, and their branding on the URL. It’s like putting your own sign on a franchise restaurant—it might have your name on the door, but it's still their kitchen and their menu.

At plugNmeet, we believe true white-labeling is not about hiding our brand; it's about empowering you to build your own.

Our platform is designed not as a finished product to be re-skinned, but as a flexible canvas for you to create a deeply integrated, pixel-perfect communication experience that feels like a native part of your application. This article explores the three levels of customization that make this possible.

We get the question all the time: "Can Plug-N-Meet support 3,000 attendees in a single meeting?"

The dream is huge: a massive online conference, a global product launch, or an all-hands meeting for a thousand-person company. The first instinct is to find a tool that can cram everyone into one giant virtual room.

But let me be honest: from years of experience in this industry, that approach is a technical and financial nightmare. It's a recipe for chaos, spiraling infrastructure costs, and a poor user experience.

The good news? There's a much smarter, more professional, and incredibly cost-effective way to do it. And you can do it with Plug-N-Meet.

For years, our company has been a well-known provider of BigBlueButton hosting and support services. We've deployed, managed, and scaled it for countless clients, and we have a deep respect for the role it has played in the open-source education community. It paved the way.

But after years in the trenches, supporting live sessions, online classes, and events at scale, we found ourselves running into the same fundamental walls. We weren't just using the software; we were experiencing its architectural limits firsthand. The frustration wasn't just about bugs; it was about an architecture that, while powerful for its original purpose, presented challenges for the kind of elastic scalability and developer agility that modern web applications demand.

We realized we had a choice: continue building workarounds, or take everything we had learned and build the solution we knew our users needed.

We chose to build. This is the story of why Plug-N-Meet exists.

We've all been there: an "interactive workshop" that's just a 90-minute video call with a slide deck. The host struggles to juggle different apps for polls, group activities, and notes, while the audience slowly disengages.

An online workshop shouldn't be a passive presentation. It should be a dynamic, collaborative experience. But to achieve that, you need more than just a video link; you need an integrated toolkit where every feature works together seamlessly.

With Plug-N-Meet, you have that toolkit. This guide will walk you through the anatomy of a perfect online workshop, showing how to use a single, unified platform to manage every stage of your event, from the initial icebreaker to the automated follow-up.
