I cannot find a lot about this topic. Does the breakout feature only exist in Zoom Meetings, or is it also in Webinar?

breakout rooms in zoom webinar is available now.
https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201361953

June 20, 2023 version 5.15.0 (17890)

New and enhanced features

  • Webinar features
    • Webinar Breakout Rooms 
      Webinar hosts can create smaller breakout sessions during their webinar, similar to those available in Zoom Meetings. The host can specify how many rooms they want to create, then manually assign attendees to each room, or have attendees automatically assigned to rooms. These breakout rooms are independent in terms of audio and video from the main webinar session, but hosts can move freely in, out, and between open breakout rooms. Webinars can have up to 1000 attendees split across 100 rooms. This requires a Zoom Events or Zoom Sessions license. This feature will not be immediately available, as it is dependent on a backend server update currently scheduled for June 26, 2023.

Its August 18, 2023. But it still not available. Can you update it? I should use it next week. I just bought 1000 attendees Webinar zoom
