Breakout Troubleshooting
Hi Bryan,
Thank you for your reply.
So we do events which have cameras and mics disabled (unless presenting). Following the presenters speaking we want people to discuss what they've heard and go into breakout rooms. The breakout rooms mic works but no one can enable their camera.
I change the toggle on the main meeting (to enable everyone's cameras and mics) before they go into the breakout, but it still doesn't allow people to turn their cameras on for breakouts.
Does this make sense? Happy to give more clarification if this doesn't make sense 🙂

Thanks for the additional details! The settings for the main meeting are not passed on to the breakout rooms; so even if you allow their camera in the main meeting (by changing it, as you noted) it would not apply to the breakout room itself. Breakout rooms are separate meetings with their own meeting options. By default, users should enter those breakout rooms as presenters (and not attendees). Can you validate the meeting options that are set in the breakout room?
- Hi Bryan,
Thanks for coming back to me on this. How would you validate breakout room meetings?
So when I send people into breakout rooms after hosting a main meeting - their settings do change and their Mics become enabled. It's just their cameras don't work. Validating meeting options that are set out in the breakout room would be a useful way of doing it - if I know how to do it please.
Thanks so much for your help so far.
