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.

At plugNmeet, our open-source WebRTC video conferencing platform is built around flexibility, privacy, and control. While plugNmeet already supports specialized cognitive services from Azure and Google, we are excited to introduce a major upgrade to the Insights framework: the official OpenAI Provider for plugNmeet.

With this integration, you can bring powerful AI features to your self-hosted video conferencing server, including live transcription, real-time translation, live chat translation, spoken translations using text-to-speech, AI meeting summaries, and an in-meeting AI chatbot.

Even better, the provider is designed around the standard OpenAI API format, which means you can use OpenAI directly or connect plugNmeet to any OpenAI-compatible API, including alternative AI providers and self-hosted LLM platforms.

At plugNmeet, our goal is to provide a powerful, open, and flexible platform that adapts to your needs, not the other way around. As deployments grow and move to the cloud, managing media files like recordings and artifacts becomes a critical challenge. How do you store files in S3? How do you automate notifications when a recording is ready? How do you manage complex workflows in a multi-server cluster?

Until now, solving these challenges often required modifying the core application code, making updates difficult and maintenance a chore.

Today, we're thrilled to announce a powerful new feature that changes everything: Scripting and Storage Hooks. This new mechanism allows you to extend and customize plugNmeet's media workflow by executing your own custom scripts—either as efficient, long-lived processes or simple one-shot commands—at key stages. All communication happens via newline-delimited JSON over standard I/O, so you can integrate your own logic without touching a single line of the core code.

Embedding a video meeting on your WordPress site shouldn't mean sending your users to a third-party platform with confusing branding and a clunky interface. Your website is your brand's home, and your meetings should feel like a natural part of it. What if you could host secure, feature-rich video conferences directly from your own domain, with your own branding, and without writing a single line of code?

Today, we are excited to launch the all-new, deeply integrated plugNmeet plugin for WordPress. This plugin is your gateway to transforming any WordPress page or post into a powerful, self-hosted video conferencing room.

Sending students to an external video conferencing link breaks the learning flow, creates a disjointed experience, and pulls them away from the Moodle environment you've carefully built. What if your virtual classroom wasn't a detour, but a destination—a native part of your course?

Today, we're thrilled to announce the launch of the completely rebuilt plugNmeet plugin for Moodle. This isn't just an update; it's a ground-up redesign focused on one thing: deep, seamless integration that makes your virtual classroom feel like a core Moodle activity.
