We are creating Sub Sessions using Zoom Video SDK. Reference Link: > **[Subsessions](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/video/web/advanced/breakout-rooms/)** > > 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. We have created Sub Session with distribute users evenly to each sub session. Example: If there are a total of 12 ppl, we are creating subsession with 4 groups of 3. Following Syntax used: const subsession = client.getSubsessionClient(); subsession.createSubsessions([‘subsessionName1’, ‘subsessionName2’], 1) _Problem:_ We are trying to open the Sub Session using the following syntax subsession.openSubsessions([{ subsessionId: 1, sessionName: ‘sessionName1’ }, { subsessionId: 2, sessionName: ‘sessionName2’ }], { isTimerEnabled: true, timerDuration: 1800 }) Even after entering sub sessions, **user is able to hear from all groups as in normal main session**. We can see different subsessions are created with respective set of groups in them, but while verifying if users are split into submissions using following syntax: subsession.getSubsessionList() We can see in “userList” the “isInSubsession” is always false. Why are we getting the “isInSubsession” as false? “Sample Response”: [ { subsessionId: “{BA4037E3-0566-2A1E-98C6-BBCAFD847689}”, subsessionName: “test-03112022-4-97-1” userList:[ { avatar: undefined displayName: “Rajkumar\_8 Ganesan” isInSubsession: false userId: 33555456 } ] } ] **Which Web Video SDK version?** We are using **Zoom Video SDK 1.5.0** **Video SDK Code Snippets** subsession.getSubsessionList() **Device (please complete the following information):** - Device: iMac - OS: MacOS Monterey Version 12.4 - Browser: Chrome - Browser Version: Version 107.0.5304.110 (Official Build) (arm64) ---

Hey @srikanth Thanks for your feedback. Currently, only the host can see the in subsession status of the users. And the Video SDK Web provides `main-session-user-updated` event to get the latest status of the user. > Thanks Vic ---

Problem: We can hear from all users in other Subsessions We tried this, Opened the Sub sessions using the following syntax; subsession.openSubsessions([{ subsessionId: 1, sessionName: ‘sessionName1’ }, { subsessionId: 2, sessionName: ‘sessionName2’ }], { isTimerEnabled: true, timerDuration: 1800 }) Which did not return any error also did not return any success message. But while check the below, subsession.getSubsessionList() I can see users are split. But all users voice are heard form other Subsessions. ---

Hey @srikanth , Instead of passing in a JSON array for the first argument, try passing in the response of the subsessions.getSubsessionsList() function. > **[SubsessionClient | Zoom Video SDK for Web - 1.5.5](https://marketplacefront.zoom.us/sdk/custom/web/modules/subsessionclient.html#getsubsessionlist)** > > Documentation for Zoom Video SDK for Web - 1.5.5 We are updating the docs to be more clear about that. 🙂 Let me know if that helps! Thanks, Tommy ---

Hey @srikanth Could you check the `isInSubsession` attribute in each user item? If the `isAutoJoinRoom` of subsession options is not set, the assigned users need to manually join the subsessions with `subsessionClient.joinSubsession(subsessionId)`. That means they are still in the main session until manually join the subsessions. `isInSubsession` is the flag that shows whether the users are actually in the subsession now. Thanks Vic ---
