When you search for virtual classroom software, you're not looking for another generic video meeting tool. You're looking for an online classroom where you can teach: explain on a whiteboard, split students into small groups, run a quick quiz, decide who can speak and share, and continue the lesson right inside Moodle or your school platform.

Generic meetings give you video tiles and chat. A real virtual classroom helps you teach the way you teach in person: show, discuss in groups, check understanding, take notes together and keep the class focused — all in one private room you control.

That's what plugNmeet is built for: open source virtual classroom software with shared whiteboard, breakout rooms, quiz-style polls, shared notes, waiting room, simple class controls and Moodle integration. Free to use, private by design, with your own logo and colors.

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.
