      Building a Breakout session

      In the scheduler, navigate to Add Scheduled Item > Add Session.

      To set the meeting to Breakout, use the drop down for Session Type > Breakout

      Some breakout-specific settings will be under the Tables and Channels tabs

      Tables

      Under the tables tab, you can configure the Table settings in the breakout.

      • Number of tables – Specifies the number of tables in the breakout session
      • Attendees per Table – Specifies the number of attendees allowed per table
      • Teams Channel Visibility Settings
        • Public Table Teams Channels – The teams channels for the tables will be public, so a member of another table is able to see the chat channels for other tables.
        • Private Table Teams Channels – The teams channels for the tables will be private, so a member of another table is not-able to see the chat channels for other tables.
      • Table Fill pattern
        • Fill tables sequentially – Arrange breakout attendees into tables in a sequential order. Tables will need to be full before the next table gains attendees
        • Evenly distribute between tables – Attendees will be evenly distributed so that all tables have the same number of attendees

      This interface allows for the manual moving and arranging of attendees per table.

      To view all attendees, whether they are assigned a table or not, select Show all tables in the drop down

      To manually add an attendee to a breakout table, first select the table you want to add to from the main drop down.

      Once you have a table selected, the current attendees in that session will appear on the right side, and a list of available attendees will appear on the left.

      Select available attendees on the left and add them to the session by using the Add Selected Attendees to Session button
