Breakout rooms not available in new meetings

Hi,

Since a couple of weeks my Option for Breakout Rooms disappeared when I schedule a new meeting or open a direct meeting.

Interestingly, my personal meeting room or older recurrent meetings still have the Breakout Sessions.

Any idea what the reason might be?

I use the latest version. Tried already to logout and login again. Deactivated and reactivated Breakouts in the settings. Nothing changed anything.

I appreciate any help. 
Thanks!
Jan

  • Join before host

  • Live streaming
  • Live transcription
  • Breakout Rooms
  • Polling
  • Zoom Apps
  • Meeting reactions*
  • 1:1 private chats*

Hopefully this will help you.
