1000 Participants Breakout Issue

I'm planning to get Zoom 1000 participants license for my up coming project. But, I've heard something unpleasant saying that I can only assign 500 participants to breakout room, with the other 500 left out in the main room.

Can anyone confirm or say anything whether is it true or not?

    These numbers only apply to breakout rooms created during a meeting. Up to 200 participants can be pre-assigned to breakout rooms.  

    Number of breakout roomsMaximum number of participants who can be assigned to breakout rooms*
    20 breakout roomsUp to 500 participants
    30 breakout roomsUp to 400 participants
    50 breakout roomsUp to 200 participants

    *The maximum capacities listed require a Large Meeting add-on. If you do not have a Large Meeting add-on, the maximum number of participants is limited by your meeting capacity. 

    Note: Zoom Support can increase the maximum capacity of your account's Breakout Rooms to allow up to 100 breakout rooms, with a maximum capacity of 1000 per breakout room (depending on account limits). This requires ALL participants to be on Zoom client version 5.2 or higher - anyone joining a meeting on your account who does not have Zoom client version 5.2 or higher will be required to update to join the meeting. If your users do not have administrative control of their computers, this will require assistance from your IT Department to update the client.

    Hello, does that mean if there are more than 200 participants, they could not be divided into 50 breakout rooms?

    Unless you can get the 4CSM to change its settings for you. You can't do that.

    I have another question about the function of breakout rooms. If the participants are leaving the meeting while the breakout rooms are functioning, will this be a problem? Since the number of participants is gradually decreasing.

    No problem.
