I would like to use the zoom API to create a meeting with breakout rooms that allow my users to freely move around breakout rooms on their own. I do not require them to be authenticated beforehand. From the documentation, it looks you can only do this for pre-assigned breakout rooms. Is there any way I can create a meeting with self assigned breakout rooms? Thanks
