This update brings another huge improvement to the breakout rooms. You can now pre-assign participants to breakout rooms. This means, you can setup your breakout rooms already in advance when scheduling a session. The breakout sessions are ready when you are starting your session.

Additionally, we are introducing some improvements to our account center and UI. Read all about the details in the following.

Account Center

 New Features

  • Pre-assign participants to breakout rooms. Set-up your breakout rooms and pre-assign users when scheduling a session. Then start the rooms when you're live & ready.
  • Setting the maximum number of speakers is now allowed in Service Plans. This is in addition to the limit of the simultaneous broadcasters limit we already have.

  • Enabled Google Tag Manager tracking script on registration pages.
