Hey Mohseen, we don't have good documentation on this, the best I can point you at right now are the examples we have in the app: https://github.com/instructure/canvas-lms/tree/stable/gems/plugins.  Quick start development environment should be fine for this.

Simon

Hi, I'm not sure where that link came from, but that particular plugin was deprecated and removed from the codebase back in November.  See this commit: https://github.com/instructure/canvas-lms/commit/1347a07467a24df34fd0192dbd84be9685ae0932

Hope that helps,
Simon

You may also want to look at the Adobe Connect plugin as an example of a plugin that provides a Conference option: https://github.com/instructure/canvas_connect
