Could we get a notification sound for when a Meeting Breakout Room participant clicks "Ask for Help"

Could we get a notification sound for when a Meeting Breakout Room participant clicks "Ask for Help?"

Invariably, I'll be standing up stretching or working on something else when I've been kicked out of a Breakout Room. It would be immensely helpful to have a "ding" or other notification that the request to come back into the Breakout Room has been clicked.

 

Thanks!

I would like to see an alert for when someone joins a Breakout Room session. For example, if i have four rooms and four moderators in each room, I would like them to hear a notification sound the same way I do in the main meeting when someone joins their breakout room. Is that on the horizon? I haven't seen an option anywhere.

Here we are a year later and no such feature. Because of the lack of a notification "ding" when the "Ask for Help" button is hit so the Host can return to a Breakout Room, I have to monitor the screen for the text alert. 

It would be a very simple feature to implement? Can you do it now?

This feature would be an absolute lifesaver for me. I frequently am in meetings where I need to give people a chance to discuss some things before asking me to come back. Being able to move around my office and listen for a notification versus staring at my screen would be so much better.
