plugNmeet v2.5.0: CRDT Whiteboard, AI Notes, Polls & Breakout Rooms

Picture this. Your class has been sketching on the whiteboard for twenty minutes. A student joins late — and sees a blank canvas. Or you spent an hour writing meeting notes in the shared notepad, only to lose formatting when you export them. Sound familiar?

We've lived those moments too. That's exactly why we built plugNmeet v2.5.0.

This isn't a polish release. We ripped out three collaboration engines and rebuilt them: the whiteboard now runs on CRDT sync, the old Etherpad notepad is gone in favor of BlockNote + AI, and breakout rooms got a completely new architecture. On top of that, AI now works in three places — whiteboard, notepad, and polls — and you can push polls into a live room straight from your own backend.

If you're looking for a free self-hosted video conferencing platform that actually keeps up with your meetings, this is the version to try.
