At Plug-N-Meet, we are constantly working to improve the post-session experience for both administrators and end-users. A common challenge in long-running events like webinars, online classes, or multi-part training sessions is managing multiple recording segments. Stopping and starting a recording is often necessary, but it leaves you with a fragmented collection of video files.

Today, we're excited to solve this problem with the introduction of the /recording/mergeRecordings API—a powerful new tool designed to consolidate multiple recording files into a single, seamless video. This feature is a must-have for anyone running a self-hosted video conference server and looking to provide a polished, professional experience.

At Plug-N-Meet, our goal is to provide a platform, not just a product. While our user interface is feature-rich, the true power of our architecture lies in its API-first design. Today, we're excited to introduce a new endpoint that gives developers unprecedented control over live sessions: /room/uploadWhiteboardFile.

This API allows your backend application to programmatically upload files directly into an active meeting's whiteboard, opening the door to powerful, seamless, and automated content workflows. This guide will walk you through the key use cases for this new feature and how it can transform your integration.

You've set up your video conferencing service, but now you want to make it smarter. What if you could automatically log the duration of every meeting for billing? Or get a Slack notification when a VIP joins a call? This is where webhooks come in.

This guide will walk you through building your very first automated workflow. We'll create a simple but powerful service that listens for a meeting to end and logs its duration to your console—a perfect starting point for a real-world billing or analytics system.

A great API-first platform doesn't just allow you to initiate actions; it tells you when actions happen. This is the power of webhooks. They are the key to transforming a simple video conferencing tool into a deeply integrated and automated part of your business ecosystem.

plugNmeet provides a rich set of webhook events that fire in real-time as things happen inside a meeting. By listening for these events, you can build powerful, automated workflows that save time, reduce manual work, and create a smarter application.

This article will explore five practical examples of workflows you can build today with plugNmeet webhooks.

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.
