In an age of heightened privacy concerns, offering End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) is one of the most powerful ways to build trust with your users. It provides a mathematical guarantee that conversations are confidential and that not even your server can access the media streams.

While the technology is complex, implementing it doesn't have to be. This guide will walk you through the two E2EE models available in Plug-N-Meet and show you how to enable them with a simple API call.

In an era where data breaches are daily news and "free" services monetize your conversations, privacy can no longer be an afterthought. It must be the foundation.

When we built Plug-N-Meet, we didn't just want to create another video conferencing tool. We wanted to build a platform that respects the user's right to privacy by default. This meant making hard architectural choices—prioritizing security over easy data harvesting, and giving control back to the user rather than hoarding it on the server.

If you are building a telehealth platform, a legal consultation app, or simply a secure meeting space for your team, you need more than just a "secure" sticker. You need an architecture designed for the Zero-Trust era.

Here is how Plug-N-Meet delivers on that promise.

Think about the last time a new application asked you to "download and install" something. A small wave of hesitation probably washed over you. Is this software safe? Will it slow down my computer? Do I have time for this? It's a moment of friction and uncertainty.

At plugNmeet, we believe that joining a video meeting should be as simple and frictionless as visiting a website. That's why we've built our entire platform around a core philosophy: No installation required.

This isn't just a convenience; it's a deliberate design choice that leads to a more secure, more private, and fundamentally better user experience for everyone.

In the world of secure communication, End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) is the gold standard. It ensures that only the participants in a conversation can decrypt and view the media streams, not even the server itself. At plugNmeet, we've implemented a robust E2EE model based on the WebRTC Insertable Streams API.

But "E2EE" isn't a single, one-size-fits-all solution. A critical question remains: where do the encryption keys come from, and who manages them?

plugNmeet offers two distinct models for managing E2EE keys, controlled by a simple setting: enabled_self_insert_encryption_key. Understanding the difference is key to choosing the right security posture for your application.
