Note a few event names are reserved and cannot be used:

enabled - Emitted when a plugin is enabled.
closed - Emitted when a plugin is closed.
dyteStateUpdate - Emitted when the state of the plugin has changed.
ready - Emitted when the plugin is ready to exchange data with client SDK.
toggleViewMode - Emitted when the control is toggled for users with view-only permissions for a plugin.

plugin.emit('myAwesomeEvent', { key: 'value' });

const peerIds = ['...'];
plugin.emit('myAwesomeEvent', { key: 'value' }, peerIds);

plugin.on('myAwesomeEvent', (data) => {
  console.log('do something');
});
