Breakout rooms slow to assign for large groups
DonellaR What are you meaning by large? I've used this will about 15 people and there was no significant issue.
StevenC365 Exactly. 10, 100, 1000? Anyway, this is hard to test, unless you're in a large environment with lots of people willing to test with you.
DonellaR, if the issue can be isolated to a particular PC maybe you should reset Teams:
- Quit Teams client and close all browser windows running Teams.
- Check Task Manager for remaining Teams processes and kill them.
- Rename folder %AppData%\Microsoft\Teams to e.g. ...\TeamsOld.
- Start the Teams client again. A new Teams folder structure will be created.
If you had individual backgrounds, get them back from ...\TeamsOld\Backgrounds.
PeterDoering- thanks for reply, not isolated, multiple colleagues have experienced same issue all working remotely from different PC set-ups, browsers etc
I had the same experience today. A meeting of 260 people, 50 automatically created breakout rooms. It was slow to send people to the rooms and wouldn’t close the rooms. I had to close each room individually and two still wouldn’t close. Assigning people, who arrived late for the meeting, to groups caused it to spin for a full minute before completing the assigning step.
StevenC365- smaller groups up to 30 people (say 5 or 6 break out rooms) seem to work okay - but as soon as you start working with greater then that there is issues - I need to use Teams for up to a couple of hundred with breakouts, and it simply doesn't handle it, and the lag is unworkable
