Picture this. Your class has been sketching on the whiteboard for twenty minutes. A student joins late — and sees a blank canvas. Or you spent an hour writing meeting notes in the shared notepad, only to lose formatting when you export them. Sound familiar?

We've lived those moments too. That's exactly why we built plugNmeet v2.5.0.

This isn't a polish release. We ripped out three collaboration engines and rebuilt them: the whiteboard now runs on CRDT sync, the old Etherpad notepad is gone in favor of BlockNote + AI, and breakout rooms got a completely new architecture. On top of that, AI now works in three places — whiteboard, notepad, and polls — and you can push polls into a live room straight from your own backend.

If you're looking for a free self-hosted video conferencing platform that actually keeps up with your meetings, this is the version to try.

We've all been there: a webinar that feels less like a live event and more like a glorified slideshow. The presenter talks at the audience, the chat scrolls by unnoticed, and engagement dwindles. In today's digital-first world, simply broadcasting information isn't enough. Your audience expects to participate, to contribute, and to feel like an active part of the experience.

At Plug-N-Meet, we believe webinars should be dynamic, engaging, and truly interactive. It's not about replacing your presentation, but enhancing it with tools that foster real-time collaboration and feedback. This guide will show you how to leverage Plug-N-Meet's powerful features to design webinars that captivate your audience and deliver measurable results.

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.

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.
