JPugs Did anyone come across any temporary solution yet? Would it, for example, be possible to have multiple people log in with your credentials?
- Hello, as mentioned. If using the Teams roles the "Presenter" can do many things, but when it comes to managing breakout rooms that is not completed yet.
See this conversation:
"Yes, engineering is working on providing support for presenters to control breakout rooms (in addition to the organizer role)."

Meaning, it will be possible not only for the organizer but also the presenter/s to manage breakout rooms (see link above for Teams roles) in addition to the co-organizer role being scheduled for September.ChristianJBergstrom Thanks for your quick response. I guess we will have to wait for the 'Presenter' role to be able to manage breakout rooms.
My question: in the mean time, is there an alternative to make it possible for BOTH 'Organizer' and 1 specific attendee to switch between breakout rooms? For example, by using the same credentials to log in two times through the Organizer account?
- I agree. This is exactly what many faculty members at our institute want: The class size can be very big and the faculty would need TAs (Teaching Assistants) to help monitor breakout room discussions and answer questions. It is important to have TAs being able to move around breakout rooms, in addition to the instructors. Is there an ETA on how soon this feature can be realized? Thanks.
