As understood today, Teams breakout rooms cannot be created in meetings or webinars that have more than 300 attendees, even if the number of attendees drops to fewer than 300 during the meeting. Also, creating breakout rooms in a meeting automatically limits the number of meeting attendees to 300.

Our marketing team will not be able to fully adopt the usage of Teams (webinars) for their customer facing sessions unless this limit is increased, preferably up to 1,000 participants.

Hi @Bryan Nyce
Just to confirm, even if you have an E3/5 (or similar) licence that allows for 1000 participants in MS Teams Webinar, you can not have breakout rooms for more than 300?
Also, could you elaborate as to what "H1CY22" means in literal terms, please?
Best Wishes
Kieran

@Bryan Nyce where will it be mentioned that this increased breakout room feature will be available or in development. I can't see it on the road map

@Bryan Nyce has this feature been upped from 300 yet? we host social hour meetings and would love to utilize this feature for our 400+ invitee meeting (less than 250 usually attend) Very frustrating to be unable to implement the breakout rooms, even though the actual attendee count is within the 300 limitation.

Clarifying question.
I have 386 people invited to my optional teams meeting but not everyone will attend, I'm guessing that only around 100 will actually join the meeting and attend.
Q1. Once the meeting is started, if there's less than 300 people attending, can I create breakout rooms and can I use the automatically assign to rooms?
Q2. I read that if I create the breakout room ahead of time, it will limit the number of people who can attend to 300 (which I'm fine with). If I do that, can I automatically assign people to the breakout rooms after the meeting starts (since it will not let me select that option ahead of time due to the size being over 300)?
Any other help or assistance would be appreciated. Thank you, - Kevin
