Overview

The Breakout Rooms feature allows the host to split their Unicko meeting in up to 100 separate sessions. The host can choose to split attendees into these separate sessions automatically or manually.

Participants in a breakout room have full audio, video and screen sharing capabilities. They can alert the host when they need help, and the host can visit the breakout room to assist and answer questions.
