What plugNmeet actually does
plugNmeet is a web conferencing system designed to handle real-time video communication and online meetings. It provides the core infrastructure needed to host virtual rooms for multiple participants over the web. The software is released under the MIT licence.
Best fit: It suits administrators who need a self-hosted video conferencing option and want to manage their own meeting infrastructure.
Worth knowing: Deploying and scaling a real-time media server requires careful network configuration, particularly regarding STUN/TURN servers and UDP port management, which can introduce operational complexity.
Deployment notes
Because it is built with Docker and Go, you will typically run it via container orchestration alongside a reverse proxy to handle TLS termination and persistent volumes for any configuration data.
