Breakout Rooms not used without host

Hello,

 

does anybody else have issues accessing Breakout rooms if the host isn't present at re-ocurring zoom events?

 

How can I create a re-occurring (fixed timings) event, which will be available to participants at all times, (23hours and 59minutes), that also includes Breakout rooms, that are automatically created, and existing, and participants can use them, without the host to be there, or without the host having to pre-assign or assign participants to breakout rooms - how to have this feature set up in advance automatically?

thank you!

    Hi, @sofiaelhatri.  Sorry for the delayed response. 

    Breakout Rooms must be Opened by a Host or Co-Host. You can’t create a meeting where they are automatically opened in a recurring session.

    Thank you for getting back to me on that Ray! Do you know if there can be multiple re-occuring meetings scheduled in advance for the same periods of time? Thank you !

    Hey, @sofiaelhatri.

     

    Well, you can schedule them, but you can’t run them concurrently. A Webinar license only allows you to have one session open at a time.
