The timer is visible to the participants, counts down the time left in the room, and alerts participants 60 seconds from when the breakout room session will close. Imagine speeding up the assignment process by being able to quickly find the right participant(s) or room(s) and multi-assigning by using the checkboxes.Ĭontrol the duration of your breakout sessions by setting up breakout room timer in the settings. Organizers can sort by participants or rooms, in addition to selecting multiple participants for room assignments. When organizers select Assign Participants in the breakout rooms’ right panel, a separate window pops up with a larger view of all the participants and rooms. The participant assignment experience also has an updated, useful interface available both before and during meetings. Assignments persist across subsequent sessions and for recurring meetings, so organizers do not have to repeat assignments. Participants also remain assigned to their breakout rooms unless the meeting organizer chooses to change them. Organizers can now reassign participants even when rooms are open, ensuring the right participants are in each breakout room and can be easily reassigned when needed. Let’s look at some of the innovations we have released so far. Since the launch in December 2020, we have released several new features that simplify the management and creation of breakout rooms while improving overall meeting efficiency. Breakout rooms allow organizers to divide meetings into sub-groups to facilitate discussions and brainstorming sessions.
