Breakout room "leave" option as a host

I used Zoom last year and was able to leave a breakout room to return to the main room, but this year, that option does not appear on my screen. How do I have that option show on my screen when I utilize the breakout rooms?

Hi @lochoa ,


If you are trying to move between breakout rooms, you would certainly use the Breakout Room window. But if you are trying to leave a breakout room and return to the main session, go to the bottom-right corner of the meeting window and click Leave Room. This will return you to the main session.

Hi @lochoa 

Can you provide a screenshot of what options you do have when you are in a breakout room as the host? As the host, you should be able to move freely in and out of breakout rooms. 

When I am the host, my group is listed as "Unassigned." I am able to visit the other breakout room, but do not see an option to return to the "Unassigned" one where I originated. I have to close all the rooms to return.
