Welcome, @lck627,

For your concern, please see this post:

Extend breakout rooms assign feature

Although you can listen for breakout room events, programmatically moving participants to different breakout rooms, for example, is currently not supported. This is because the Zoom API does not have access to in-meeting controls. Instead, the Zoom API is intended for Pre and Post-meeting configuration. So you can pre-assign and re-assign breakout room participants before the meeting start, but not during. However, I can see the value programmatically moving participants would add to the develo…

Great question, @lck627! Currently, the Zoom Web SDK offers a getBreakoutRoomList method, which lists the rooms and attendees.I’ve linked our Web SDK reference below.

I have seen this function, but how about putting meeting user into breakout room or starting breakout session? is there no way to do it in Web SDK?

@lck627,

Correct! At this time, there is no API or method to put meeting users into a breakout room or start a breakout session. You can leverage the Breakroom Object to pre-assign users to breakout rooms, but not during the meeting.
