How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

Introduce breakout room functionality

We have a business requirement for breakout rooms with live events. The idea is pretty simple - we plan to use live events to host internal staff training webinars and as part of that, at times we will ask for small groups of people (typically 4-5) to go away into a breakout room and come back to the group with their answer/idea.

We would like to see this functionality be introduced to Microsoft Teams for not only live events but also video calls. This would provide feature parity with pre-existing tools such as Zoom, WebEx and many more which would be a cost saving for us.

Features we would expect as part of breakout rooms would be as follows:


  • Option to assign users to a specific room

  • Option to random assign users to a specific room

  • Presenters/producers can switch between rooms

  • Breakout rooms have a time limit for how long they last before everyone being bought back to the group

  • The ability to appoint a moderator of a breakout room

  • The ability to record each and every room separately (This is a dream ask)

Happy to provide more detail as required.
