Prepare meeting breakout rooms
As a creator of a meeting I want to prepare my breakout rooms before the meeting gets started. So i already assigned people to rooms before the meeting is going to start.
When the meeting is in progress i Only need to open the rooms.
Next to that you want to send documents directly from the main room to the breakout rooms

workaround is to arrange another teams meeting as a breakout room. And user receive two Teams meetings invites from the organizer, one for the main room and second for the breakout room. User can swap between two Teams meetings

Hi While waiting for the option to be released is there any other method of creating a breakout room before the meeting. Is there any idea of using Channels. Can anyone assist on this or share the method. Would be much appreciated. Thanks

Does this include functionality to enter the rooms and set up a whiteboard in each?

If you have 50 people or plus to assign in breakout rooms, you have to speed up and it is tedious to assign them quick in to the right groups...therefore I would benefit if I could organize my breakout rooms before the meeting starts!

@Alex this is a feature that has been asked for a few times. We are two teams merged, and we like to divide the people evenly over the rooms, that is a hassle at the moment in TEAMS

It would be greatly beneficial to be able to create breakout rooms in advance of the meeting, to be able to assign invitees to breakout rooms in advance as well as adding files to breakout rooms prior to the meeting starting. It would also be beneficial if the participants can call you into the rooms when they need something and also allowing the participants and organizers access to the chats when the rooms are closed. Pairing these features with allowing the meeting organizer to assign additional presenters to have control over breakout rooms and to be able to move in between breakout rooms would make them actually functional within my department.
