Key Features​

Core Conferencing & Collaboration​

  • High-Quality Audio & Video: Experience clear audio and smooth HD video calls. Users can also use virtual backgrounds to hide their surroundings.
  • Browser-Based Conferencing: Join meetings instantly in your web browser with a modern, lightweight interface. No downloads or installation required.
  • Adaptive Streaming (Simulcast & Dynacast): Ensures a smooth, uninterrupted video experience, even on slow networks. It intelligently saves bandwidth by pausing video streams from off-screen participants and adjusting video quality for thumbnails. This prevents lag and significantly reduces data usage for everyone on the call.
  • HD Screen Sharing: Share your computer screen with others in high-definition quality.
  • Interactive Whiteboard & Notepad: Draw and write together on a blank canvas, or upload PDF and Office files to present and draw on them.
  • Public & Private Chat: Send messages and share files with everyone in the meeting, or send them privately to a single person.

Engagement & Moderation Tools​

  • Breakout Rooms: Split a large meeting into smaller, separate rooms for focused group discussions.
  • Moderation & Engagement Tools: Manage your audience with features like Polling, Raise Hand, and a Waiting Room to control who joins the meeting.
  • Advanced Participant Permissions: Control what each participant can do, such as locking their microphone, camera, or chat.

Recording & Live Broadcasting​

  • Meeting Recording: Save meetings as MP4 video files to your computer (local recording) or to the cloud.
  • RTMP Live Streaming: Broadcast your meeting live to YouTube, Facebook, or any other streaming service.
  • RTMP & WHIP Ingress: Use professional tools like OBS Studio to send high-quality video into your meeting room.
  • Shared Video Playback: Watch a YouTube video or play a video file for everyone in the meeting at the same time.

Advanced Integration & Security​

  • End-to-End Encryption (E2EE): Keep your meetings completely private with the highest level of security for all audio, video, and data. For a deeper dive into our security architecture, including authentication and data-in-transit protection, refer to our detailed Security Overview.
  • Live Captions & Translation: See spoken words as text in real-time, allowing you to also translate the conversation into different languages.
  • Embed Web Content: Show any website or online application, like a Google Doc or a project dashboard, directly within the meeting window.
  • Analytics & Reports: Get detailed reports about meetings and users to understand how the platform is being used.

How It Works​

Now that you've seen what's possible, here’s the simple concept behind Plug-N-Meet. The platform has two components:

  1. The Server: The powerful engine that runs your video conferences.
  2. The Integration: The client that connects the server to your website (like a plugin or custom code).

Your first step is to choose how to set up your server.

Step 1: Choose Your Server​

Option A: Self-Host (The Open-Source Way)​

For maximum control, privacy, and customization, you can install the open-source Plug-N-Meet server in your own environment. We provide a simple, automated installation script that handles all the complex server configuration for you. This means you don’t need special system administration skills; if you are comfortable using a command line and following on-screen prompts, you can get a server running in minutes. As open-source software, it is completely free to download, use, and modify, giving you complete ownership of your data and the ability to create a fully branded and customized user experience.

Option B: plugNmeet Cloud (The Managed Way)​

If you want to avoid server setup and maintenance, our official plugNmeet Cloud service provides a ready-to-use, managed server for you. Our cloud solution is built with the same commitment to privacy as our open-source version, following strict security best practices to keep your data safe and your conversations private.

For large-scale or global deployments, the cloud version also solves the complex challenge of network latency with our Intelligent Geo-Distribution feature. It automatically routes participants to the nearest server, which drastically reduces lag and ensures high quality for international meetings.

You can start with a free plan and upgrade as you grow. This is the easiest way to get started.

Step 2: Integrate With Your Website​

Once you have your server's API credentials (from either your self-hosted setup or your Cloud account), you can connect it to your website.

For WordPress, Joomla, & Moodle Sites​

If you use a popular CMS, our official plugins are the easiest way to integrate. Simply install the plugin and provide your server details.

For Custom Applications​

For developers building custom applications, we provide official SDKs and comprehensive API documentation.
