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.
