We've all been there: a crucial meeting is about to start, but a key participant has a spotty internet connection, is traveling, or simply doesn't have access to a computer. In a world increasingly reliant on video calls, how do you ensure everyone can still participate, even if they can't join online?

At Plug-N-Meet, we believe in inclusivity. That's why we're excited to introduce SIP Dial-In, a powerful feature that allows participants to join the audio of your video meetings using any standard telephone. No internet, no problem.

This feature seamlessly bridges the gap between your online conference and the traditional telephone network, ensuring that every voice can be heard, regardless of their connectivity.

You've set up your video conferencing service, but now you want to make it smarter. What if you could automatically log the duration of every meeting for billing? Or get a Slack notification when a VIP joins a call? This is where webhooks come in.

This guide will walk you through building your very first automated workflow. We'll create a simple but powerful service that listens for a meeting to end and logs its duration to your console—a perfect starting point for a real-world billing or analytics system.

For more high-level ideas on what's possible, check out our companion post on 5 Powerful Workflows You Can Build with Webhooks.

A great API-first platform doesn't just allow you to initiate actions; it tells you when actions happen. This is the power of webhooks. They are the key to transforming a simple video conferencing tool into a deeply integrated and automated part of your business ecosystem.

plugNmeet provides a rich set of webhook events that fire in real-time as things happen inside a meeting. By listening for these events, you can build powerful, automated workflows that save time, reduce manual work, and create a smarter application.

This article will explore five practical examples of workflows you can build today with plugNmeet webhooks.

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.

Meet Users Where They Are: Why We Build Plugins, Not Another Standalone App

If you manage a Learning Management System (LMS) like Moodle or a Content Management System (CMS) like WordPress, you've likely faced this frustrating scenario: you have a vibrant community, a rich content library, and a well-defined user base, but the moment you need to host a live class or a webinar, you have to send everyone away to a third-party, standalone application.

You generate a Zoom link, post it on your site, and hope your users can find it, log in correctly, and navigate back when it's over. This experience is clunky, disjointed, and it breaks the seamless learning environment you've worked so hard to build.

At plugNmeet, we believe this is a fundamentally flawed workflow. That's why we made a deliberate architectural choice: to be a plugin-first platform, not just another standalone app.
