Thank you for the feedback, the team is working to raise the limits of the meeting size with breakout rooms involved. Timeframe is H1CY22.

Hi BryanNyce

 

Just to confirm, even if you have an E3/5 (or similar) licence that allows for 1000 participants in MS Teams Webinar, you can not have breakout rooms for more than 300?

 

Also, could you elaborate as to what "H1CY22" means in literal terms, please?

 

Best Wishes

Kieran

    H1CY22 -> Half 1 Calendar Year 22 -> January 2022 through June 2022.

        BryanNyce where will it be mentioned that this increased breakout room feature will be available or in development. I can't see it on the road map
