Zoom Breakout Room Countdown Not Working

I have a meeting with 45 people split into 21 breakout rooms.  The "countdown" option is set to give everyone a 60 second warning when I close the breakout rooms.  However, when I close the breakout rooms, the participants are all pulled into the main lobby with no 60 second countdown.

 

In the same meeting, after most participants had left, I tested placing 5 people in 5 different breakout rooms.  I did not change any settings. When I closed the rooms, they all saw the 60 second timer and were pulled into the main lobby after 60 seconds.  I have been using breakout rooms in these meetings since November 2020 and the first time I had this problem was last Wednesday.

 

Any thoughts on how to resolve this issue?  Is it a Zoom bug?

    Hi @jvcnm its been some time since you've posted this discussion! As there has been some updates and fixes within the Zoom client for Meetings, suggest updating your Zoom client, or uninstalling and reinstalling.
