I'm so glad I found this video. I was hoping there was a way to set them up before the meeting started. Thank you!

[larsrossle]

Just the thing I was looking for. Thanks a lot!

[patk]

This is perfect! I appreciate the details as this is exactly what I needed to know. Thank you!

[frenchclilwithemmanuellela]

Thank you, this is very useful. I am running a conference in which people will go into two successive rooms (they choose to attend 2 out of 3 seminars running twice). I see how to allocate them for the first run, but what would be the most efficient (and quickest) way to allocate them to their second chosen room. Thanks!

Thanks for the tutorial! The only thing I am stumped on is how do I add myself to a breakout group?? My name doesn't show up on the list...

[scepticore]

Does anyone know, if I can predefine certain groups for different rooms? So I can easily switch the whole group from one room to another one?

[mechellev]

Thanks for the information. When the actual meeting occur does it start in one group and then it breakout by groups?

[markmmoran]

Good tutorial. Do you know if this works for a Teams webinar?
Thanks

Can the breakout rooms manager for "Idea room" manage the other breakout room, "Room 2", as well?

[vernastaples]

We use Teams to host and record our Town Council meetings. If Council needs to go into a Closed Session, I have Breakout Rooms set up in advance (thank you for that), but I'd like to know if there is a way to leave a message on the screen of the main meeting, so that anyone joining the public meeting will see that message and know that Council will be back to the main room once their breakout discussion is done.

I assigned all participates to premade rooms, however not everyone has accepted the meeting invite, will this be an issue?

[sizzlingcaca]

Does this work for people in your Organisation only?

[maryamalawiy]

Can the break out room be used in the free version? I tried the method explained but the breakout tab didn't show!! I need your help

Maybe it's my region (Central America), but I do not have that breakout room button. I've tried everything. My settings say that I have the latest version of the app, and I'm using my desktop to launch the meetings. I'm super disappointed.

[williamlapierre]

When I try to assign people to rooms, only 2 of 30 members of the team show up on the list. Why is this happening and how do I fix it? Thanks.

[barryscott]

This does not work for me using the Teams desktop app on an iMac. I can create rooms but the "assign participants" button is greyed out.
