Please note the following limitations when using breakout rooms:

- Once breakout rooms have started, the moderator cannot move between individual breakout rooms or bring participants back to the main room before the session ends.

- The duration must be set before starting the breakout rooms and cannot be changed afterwards.

- When breakout rooms are created, all participants, including the moderator, are assigned to a room. Participants cannot leave their assigned room until the breakout session has ended.

- Observers and translators cannot be assigned to individual breakout rooms. Observer mode and simultaneous interpretation are only supported in the main session.

- Co-moderators who join in "Observe Only" mode are treated as observers and will not appear in the list of participants that can be assigned to breakout rooms. Only users who join with webcam mode can be assigned.

- After the breakout session, you can access the notes and recordings from each room. However, transcripts are not available for breakout rooms.

- Screen sharing and Library sharing are not supported within breakout rooms.
