    PROBLEM SOLVED!

    1. Participants need to use a laptop/desktop computer to log in to the meeting. Meaning if participants log in with a phone or iPad organizer cannot assign participants to breakout rooms.

    2. Participants who are using MacBook should use Teams web-based (google chrome), not Teams application.

    I hope this helps!

      Chemey23 In my opinion is this not a specific Macbook problem. 

      It is related to guest (external)  members of the meeting.

      Also on a W10 device it is not possible using BO rooms in the client app. Only Webbased or as an logged in user.
