Breakout Rooms

Breakout rooms allow meeting organisers to split main meetings into smaller sessions for focused discussions. 

Meeting Organisers have access to the following breakout room features:​

    • Breakout room setup on Teams desktop client
    • Create breakout rooms in scheduled private meetings (including recurring) and private meet now meetings
    • Meeting organisers can manage rooms and hop between rooms freely
    • Setup breakout rooms during an active meeting
    • Create up to 50 breakout rooms in a single meeting
    • Add, remove, delete breakout rooms
    • Rename rooms to the title of your choice
    • Reassign room participants from one room to another before as well as while the rooms are open
    • Room transition: as an organiser, you can decide if participants get moved to the room automatically when you open the room, or, if they need to click to confirm the move. The “auto-accept” setting is available per meeting.
    • Send an announcement that will show up as a meeting chat message in each room.
    • Chats, files, and recordings: only the organiser will always have access to all rooms meeting content
