Video SDK Type and Version
“@zoom/videosdk”: “^1.7.0”

Description
I am pretty new to zoom video SDK and try to test the subsession api from video sdk but cannot make a successful run.

How To Reproduce

Download sample-app-videosdk
Follow the guidance to install dependencies and update the dev.ts file

export const devConfig = {
  sdkKey: 'xxx',
  sdkSecret: 'xxx',
  webEndpoint: 'zoom.us',
  topic: 'happyhippo3',
  name: `${getExploreName()}-${Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000)}`,
  password: 'abc789',
  signature: '',
  sessionKey: '',
  userIdentity: '',
  // role = 1 to join as host, 0 to join as attendee. The first user must join as host to start the session
  role: 1
};

run npm start
Navigate to subsession
Open another tab from browser and navigate to subsession as well
From the host tab, try to create subsessions, no response when click start button (for both manual and automatic options), console log shows breakout room feature is not enabled

Hi @yan.sc.zhang ,

You’ll want to make sure you have the ‘subsessions’ feature turned on in your account settings, which can be found here. I’ve also attached a screenshot below referencing what I’m talking about.

Thanks,
