Break Out Rooms

I am curious if there is an option or setting to allow the host to force a participant into a break-out room? I believe that when break-out rooms are created and opened, participants need to 'join' their assigned room (or there's an option to join a room of their choice).  However, can someone be moved into a breakout room without them needing to select 'join'?

Hi @CL6! Yes, there is an option to force a participants into a breakout room. This is done be selecting "Automatically move all selected participants in breakout rooms to main meeting". For more information, check out Managing meeting breakout rooms.
