Teams - Meet - Breakout Rooms

Description:

With breakout rooms in Microsoft Teams, participants can gather in smaller groups for conversations and brainstorming sessions. 
⇒ NOTE: Only meeting organizers on the desktop version of Teams can create and manage breakout rooms.  Organizers and presenters must first join the meeting to create or manage breakout rooms. 

Information:

Important: Meetings of more than 300 people are not able to use breakout rooms. Likewise, if you create breakout rooms before a meeting, you won't be able to invite more than 300 people. For more info about managing large Teams meetings see: Best practices for a large meeting in Microsoft Teams - Microsoft Support

Automatically assign participants to a room when a breakout room is created.  If you'd like to move people around later in the meeting, you will need to do so manually.
