Breakout Rooms

Overview

The Breakout Rooms feature allows the host to split their Unicko meeting to separate sessions.
The host can choose to split attendees into these separate sessions automatically or manually, and can switch between them at any time.

Participants in a breakout room have full audio, video and screen share capabilities.
If the meeting is being recorded, it will only record the main room, regardless of what room the meeting host is in.
