Inability for External Presenters to Manage Breakouts is hurting our business in the L&D industry
Hi Laura_Morgan
Same issue here. In our company (more than 200K employees) 80% of our instructors are externall users from many different partners and vendors. We stilll deliver some training sessions via Zoom because of the break out rooms and the simultaneous translation. I have been requesting this to our IT area with no answer at all.
We cannot manage to add external instructors as guest into the tenant as we have a few thousands instructors, so no way to manage this amount of requests with our IT area.
We have a custom integrtarion of Teams with our LMS, so we can manage to automatically create Teams meetings, retrieve the attendance reports and close the roaster in our LMS, saving a lot of FTE's. So because of that, it's quite important not only to give the capability to external users to create breakout rooms, but to solve the issue with the Graph API to retrieve the attendance report. Nowadays it does not return the time users spend in breakout rooms.
So, what it's really needed is:
-Give external users the option to create breakout rooms.
-Make the Graph API to retrieve attendance reports including the breakout rooms time
-Solve the issues with simultaneous translation.
There are some others Teams features to be improved, but those 3 are the critical ones for us.
