The problem is that this topic has been “mark as solved” so I figure it must be ignored by the PMs when reviewing it. @tommy could you unmark it please? It’s definitely done solved! Thank you very much 🙏 ---

Looks like ‘Breakout Rooms’ WebSDK feature moved to Released status 2 days ago… [Breakout Rooms on Zoom Developer Roadmap | Trello](https://trello.com/c/JL5nTmN9/50-breakout-rooms) Will there be an equivalent REST API update coming soon also? (Please say yes, please say yes!) ---

This feature would help out my team’s use case tremendously. We break into breakout rooms three different times during our meeting. Each room’s participants are determined by their name. For example all people with “Spanish” in their name are matched with people whos name contains “English”. ---

Hello, I would like to request an update for this feature for us to build a queuing system to assign user to a Break Out room via Zoom’s API. Our use case is that we have users coming into a Zoom meeting room seeking support and dependent on the availability of agent and expertise areas we would need Zoom to have the ability to create and direct user to the Breakout room so that the user can meeting with agent within a breakout room to resolve the issue. ---
