Bring a powerful, open-source video conferencing solution directly into your WordPress site. With plugNmeet, you can host live classes, webinars, and meetings without sending your users to a third-party website, keeping them engaged and on your platform. The meeting interface is loaded directly on your page for a seamless, native experience. Best of all, the interface is fully customizable to match your brand. How It Works This plugin connects your WordPress site to a plugNmeet server. As a free and open-source project, you have two great options for the server: Self-Host: Create your own server for maximum control and privacy by following the official installation instructions. Use the Cloud: Get started in minutes with a ready-to-use plugNmeet cloud subscription. Note: The plugin includes pre-configured demo credentials to help you test its features immediately. This demo server is a shared resource and is not intended for production use as it can be unreliable. For any important meetings, we strongly recommend using one of the options above to ensure a stable and professional experience for you and your users.
