Hello, I have been using Zoom for training sessions every week for the past five years. During breaks, I currently move each participant to the waiting room manually, which is very time-consuming. Could a feature be added in Zoom to allow all meeting participants except hosts be moved into the waiting room in one button, similar to the "admit all" function from the waiting room into the meeting?

There is a function that already exists to put a selection of participants into a breakout room. And the host can control their exit back to the main room.

Allow participants to return to the main session at any time: If this option is checked, the participants can move back to the main session from their meeting controls. If this is disabled, they need to wait for the host or co-host to end the breakout rooms.

Hi thanks for the response, however this is not what I have asked, I would like to see an option to add all to the "Waiting Room" not a breakout room. As far as I know this function is not available.

I want to second adding this feature. I can add all participants from the waiting room into the main room with the push of one button, but I cannot do the reverse and move them all back into the waiting room with the push of one button. Each has to be manually returned to the waiting room, which is very time-consuming. "Move All Participants to Waiting Room" should be an option.

A workaround might be to set the "Move participants to Waiting Room if Host Drops out" and then drop out and come back.
