    At the moment, we just use meeting links or channel, but this is a workaround.
    Actual breakout functionality similar to Zoom where facilitators can assign attendees into rooms, move between rooms, broadcast messages etc is going to be launched in this October update. Hopefully it will be much better!

    Haha I suspect it will be!

    I know, we’re desperate for it…

    I’m on leave and hopefully on my way to Highlands on 27th, considering putting it off to attend this :p
    Will just have to keep an eye out for the next one!

    Re. breakout rooms in Microsoft Teams – I am right this second in a presentation from MS where they have said this should be with us no later than 1/2 Oct 2020 🙂

    • Maybe the Highlands is enough of a liberation, even without Liberating Structures? 😉

      Good to hear that people using Teams will have breakout rooms soon – definitely one of the best aspects of Zoom.

    • We have breakout rooms in Teams already. However, it is NOT intuitive and doesn’t work as well as Zoom. But we have no choice right now as we don’t have permission to use Zoom due to security concerns.
