I want to create Zoom meeting using API request and get the join_url. The meeting will have multiple breakout rooms and pre-assigned participants. The creation request was successful and meeting with pre-assigned breakout rooms was created and enabled:
{ "uuid": "phdGwf0wRx2E84I0YdfuVQ==", "id": 83503657198, .... "join_url": "https://us06web.zoom.us/j/83503657198?pwd=rjmfFnPOVfWa.1", .... "settings": { "breakout_room": { "enable": true, "rooms": [ { "name": "Room 1", "participants": [ "***********" ] }, { "name": "Room 2", "participants": [ "***********" ] } ] }, }, .... }
When I try to enter the meeting as email address, breakout rooms are still not opened, so the host needs to enter the meeting and open all pre-assigned rooms. I have 2 problems here:
1- Most important is that I need to open all breakout rooms automatically, even if I need to make a script or a bot that runs on the linux server that I will upload my system to, or if there is an endpoint that I can open all breakout rooms manually, that would be convenient.
2- When I try to enter as host from web, the In Meeting (advanced) - Breakout rooms options are not the same as the ones I find in the created meeting; but if I open using a Zoom workplace app, settings are successfully loaded. It says in the settings that it requires version 6.0.10 or later. I don't know if this means that this setting will only work on apps only and not web.

My research shows that people have been wanting either an "Auto Open All Rooms" or "Allow all participants to Open All Rooms" feature for over 3 years. Please add this feature! We lose our breakout rooms multiple times a day and have to wait for one of the meeting owners to log back in and reopen them.
