Hi @kays,

Currently the Web Client or WebSDK does not support breakout rooms at this time. We do have it on the roadmap to include the feature in a future release - [https://trello.com/b/bzKad84M/zoom-developer-roadmap](https://trello.com/b/bzKad84M/zoom-developer-roadmap)

Thanks

Hi @michael_p.zoom,

We get an idea that soon you will make this feature available. But, is it possible for you to let us know when to expect it?  
I’m looking fwd for this feature to live. It will be great if it’s available soon.

Thanks

Hey @tommy [Following this post](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/zoom-web-client-breakout-room-support/26324/7), any more news, please?  
(early/mid September?)  
Knowing the approximate date would be game changer as we are starting trainings around mid-September.

Hey @daniel2, @abdul.otman, @jayendhar, @kays,

Breakout rooms are now supported in Web SDK version 1.8.5.

Please see the release log for more details:

> [@(ACTION REQUIRED) Web SDK update version 1.8.5](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/action-required-web-sdk-update-version-1-8-5/39004):
>
> Hello Zoom Developers, here are the updates for the Web SDK version 1.8.5 release: Please note that as of January 10th, all older versions of the Web SDK (versions 1.8.3 and below) will no longer have computer audio functionality within meetings. Please upgrade to version 1.8.5 or above to avoid service disruption. To complete alignment with Zoom’s security initiative, including the new AES 256-bit GCM encryption, we will disable un-encrypted audio within meetings that are not using AES 256-bit…

Thanks,  
Tommy

Can you update the trello board please? It’s useful to keep it up-to-date so we can plan for future projects.

@ramaduraijayaraman78,

Currently, the Web SDK does support breakout rooms, see the list of supported features here:

> **[Zoom Web SDK](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/web/)**
>
> The Zoom Developer Platform is an open platform that allows third-party developers to build applications and integrations upon Zoom’s video-first unified communications platform.

Thanks,  
Donte

Hi donte.S,

sorry, you mean that the breakout rooms functionality was removed from the Zoom Web SDK Client View? Sorry, I am confused now. Because since v.1.8.5 there is support for breakout rooms and from v.1.9.5 \* Support for pre-assigned breakout rooms.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Correct, Breakout rooms are supported for the WebSDK, @succevo . Here is a video of my launching the [breakout with the WebSDK Version 2.3.0](https://www.loom.com/share/372915d400c644d7b8c541e5a3a292dc). Please note, be sure the user launching the Breakout room has host privileges.

Steps to launch breakout room via Web SDK:

1. Join meeting as host
2. Select Breakout Room and set breakout assignments

Note: _If the breakout room icon is not displayed then you likely do not have host privileges. You will need to request host privileges from the meeting host to launch the breakout rooms._

Best,  
Donte

Let me know if you have any questions about this.

Thanks,  
Donte
