Creating breakout rooms through polling

Hello there,

 

I just noticed this option (Create Breakout Rooms) when creating a poll. 

 

Can someone explain how this works? I was not able to find any resources.

 

Thanks in advance, 

 

Miriam

Here's a link to the official documentation.

Basically, the answers that you provide in your poll will become the names of the breakout rooms, and everybody will be sent to the breakout room that they answered in the poll.

I can't find any description of what happens when there are more respondents to a poll answer than the limit of participants per room. Does it automatically generate enough rooms to keep people together who had the same answer, while keeping those rooms below the max participants per room? Or does it just not put the 'overflow' participants in any room at all?

I have the admin account and my poll doesn't have this feature. My employee does have this option. I don't understand why I don't have this same option?
