Have you ever wanted to share a high-quality video during a meeting, but the file was too large to upload? Or maybe you have a copyrighted video that you are allowed to show, but you can't share the file itself. Perhaps you're a power user who wants to create a professional presentation with multiple cameras, overlays, and smooth transitions using a tool like OBS Studio.

Traditionally, getting this kind of professional content into a live meeting has been complex or impossible.

At plugNmeet, we believe you should be able to use the best tools for the job. That's why we've built a simple but powerful feature called Live Stream Input. Think of it as giving your meeting its own private, secure TV channel. You can broadcast directly into your meeting room from professional software like OBS, and your stream appears as a regular participant.

A Whiteboard That Belongs in the Classroom, Not in Another Tab

If you've ever taught a class online, you've likely experienced this frustrating moment. You're in the middle of a great discussion, and you want to illustrate a point on a whiteboard. You click the "whiteboard" button, and suddenly, a completely new application opens up in another window.

It has a different design, a different set of tools, and it feels... disconnected. Your students are now looking at a separate program, not your classroom. This is the "plugin" approach, and while it works, it's often clunky and unintuitive.

At plugNmeet, we believe your tools should feel like a natural part of your classroom, not a separate gadget you have to bolt on. That's why our whiteboard is truly built-in, designed from the ground up to be a seamless and powerful part of your teaching experience.

Click a Link, Join a Meeting: The "No Installation" Philosophy

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.
