A Developer's Guide to Building a Custom Video Chat UI with Plug-N-Meet's Headless API
· 6 min read
You've successfully integrated Plug-N-Meet into your application. You can create rooms, generate join tokens, and embed the client in an <iframe>. It's fast and it works. But now you want to go deeper. You want to break out of the <iframe> box and build a truly seamless user experience where the video client feels like a native part of your application's UI.
This is where Plug-N-Meet's "headless" integration mode comes in.
This guide is for developers who want to move beyond basic embedding. We'll show you how to use the powerful getClientFiles API to render the Plug-N-Meet client directly into your own page's DOM, giving you ultimate control over layout, branding, and the user experience.
