Thinking laterally… could you not create as many Team rooms as you need for breakouts ??

?

1. Meet in the Team room from the invitation
2. Explain the breakouts
3. Post the links in Notes – you could even maybe? assign people by name
4. You can’t move the people physically but they click on the link
5. Agree to come back to the original room (from the invitation) at a certain time
6. You can click on the links and go listen in to the conversations.

?

We did something similar when we did a workshop with about 90 people a couple of years ago, using GoToMeeting rooms. I told people if they got lost in internetspace to come back to the main room and I would help them. There were some technical issues that I put on a slide. I think the main thing was that you had to close the main room before you could open the breakout so you had to cut the link, close the main room then paste the link to go to the breakout.

?

We lost surprisingly few people. The groups were all the way round the world, different levels of techsavvy and different bandwidths.

?

I sat in an empty room with GoToMeeing app, and just went from room to room.

?

I think we lost less time than getting physical people into physical break out rooms, with their toilet stops, coffee stops, interesting corridor conversations and ‘just popping to see Aman in admin’

?

Anyway, do you think it would work?

Yes it is the workaround....not elegant but possible

Or just use the zoom plugin??

Lucas Cioffi has a product he built around zoom that allows for self organizing breakouts -?
I'll ping him to come on over.?

Not the same thing as the teams issue, but another solution
