Thank you for the update. This is a great feature.
It would also be very useful to have attendees of breakout rooms to be able to self-allocate and move themselves freely between breakout rooms like you can do in Zoom. This would allow for large flexible planning sessions and other large events and currently is holding me back from using Teams for these kinds of events as easily as other tools (Zoom, WebEx Training Center). There are a lot of feature suggestions on uservoice for this but each has a smaller number of votes. Could you please review (e.g. search for move between rooms brings them up) and consolidate so that one suggestion item better reflects the number of votes and consider this enhancement? Thank you
