Cannot activate Breakout Rooms in Webinars

Hi there,

I am facing the issue that the "Breakout room - Webinar" option in the menu Admin -> Account Management -> Account Settings is not showing up, so there is no way to turn it on.
Any ideas?

Hello,

 

I don't believe you can use breakout rooms in a regular webinar. You must have a Zoom Events or Zoom Sessions license to use these special webinar breakout rooms.
