Bring the Web into Your Meeting: Seamlessly Embed Websites and Apps for Dynamic Collaboration

How many times have you been in an online meeting where the presenter says, "Okay, I'm going to share my screen now... wait, let me find the right tab... can you all see this? Now, let me switch to this other tab..."?

This constant switching, sharing, and re-sharing breaks the flow, distracts participants, and turns what should be a dynamic collaboration into a clunky, disjointed experience. Your meeting becomes a series of disconnected windows, not a unified workspace.

At Plug-N-Meet, we believe your meeting room should be as versatile as your web browser. That's why we built the "Share External Link" feature, allowing you to seamlessly display any website or web application directly within your meeting, transforming it into a truly interactive and engaging environment.

Everyone on the Same Page: Synchronized Video Playback in Your Meetings

You have a video you need to discuss with your team—a new marketing ad, a training module, or a customer testimonial. What do you do?

The usual options are frustrating. If you share your screen, you're often left with a choppy, low-resolution video and distorted audio. If you paste a link in the chat, everyone watches at their own pace, making it impossible to pause and say, "Let's talk about what happens at the 1:32 mark."

At Plug-N-Meet, we believe watching a video together should be a seamless, collaborative activity. That's why we built the "Play External Video" feature—a powerful tool that synchronizes video and audio playback for every participant, turning passive viewing into an active, shared experience.

Breaking Down Language Barriers: Real-Time Translation and Live Captions in Your Video Meetings

In today's hyper-connected world, your team, your classroom, or your community isn't in one city; it's in every corner of the globe. A project update might involve team members from Berlin, Tokyo, and São Paulo. A university lecture could have students tuning in from a dozen different countries.

This creates a huge, unspoken barrier. When everyone is forced to communicate in a single language, who is being left out? Who is hesitant to speak up? Who is missing the critical details?

At Plug-N-Meet, we believe that technology should break down these barriers, not create new ones. That's why we built a powerful, integrated Live Captions and Real-Time Translation feature. It’s a tool designed to transform your video meetings from a one-language monologue into a truly global, multilingual conversation.

Beyond the Chat: How to Engage Your Audience and Make Decisions with Live Polls

You're hosting a webinar and ask a critical question: "Does this new feature seem useful to you?" The response? A few scattered "yes" messages in the chat, buried between "hello from Brazil" and a question about something else entirely. You have no real data, no clear consensus, and no way to gauge the true opinion of your audience.

Text chat is great for conversation, but it's a terrible tool for structured feedback.

At Plug-N-Meet, we believe that understanding your audience shouldn't be a guessing game. That's why we built a simple, powerful Live Polling feature directly into the core meeting experience. It's the definitive tool for transforming a passive audience into active participants and for making data-driven decisions in real-time.

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.
