A current workaround for making use of breakout rooms for your (co-)presenters and viewers is by creating multiple webinars scheduled at the same time and redirecting them accordingly.

Using breakout rooms

Check out the steps below on how to carry this out:

  1. Navigate to your live webinar in the webinar overview and click on the arrow next to 'View details'. From here you can click on 'Duplicate webinar':

    Duplicate webinar option at the webinar overview page

  2. Switch from 'Broadcast' to 'Interactive session', change the title of your 'Breakout room' webinar under 'About your webinar', set it to 'Unlisted' and schedule it at the same time as the main webinar:

    Naming your breakout room webinar
    Setting your breakout room webinar to unlisted

  3. From here, we can 'Create and publish' the webinar by scrolling down and clicking the grey button on the left:

    Create and publish your breakout webinar

  4. Now that the new 'Breakout room' webinar is published, you can use the direct link for this webinar to share with audience. This can be done in various ways depending on your preferences:

  5. You're now set and viewers will be able to click on the link and get redirected to the breakout room(s) accordingly. Don't forget to start the breakout room webinar(s) at the scheduled time!

Tip! This process can be repeated as many times as necessary when you need multiple breakout rooms for your live webinars!
