We want to move our meeting Bot to a particular room based on Room UUID. We are trying to use the method JoinBO(const zchar_t strBOID)*.
We also have selected the BO Option where participants are allowed to choose the breakout rooms, still the Bot is not moving.
The method returns success but the bot doesn’t move to the room.

Please can you help! Would appreciate any help here. We’re using the Linux Meetings SDK
Hey @irathod2012,
According to Zoom’s documentation, self-selecting breakout rooms is only available if the participant is on the Desktop or mobile client.
Note: Participants not joined with the desktop or mobile app will not be able to self-select a breakout room. The host will need to facilitate moving these participants manually.
So unfortunately this is not possible through the Linux SDK, and the bot will need to be manually assigned to a room. For what it’s worth, we haven’t found this to be an issue for most use cases, since the end user can simply designate which breakout room the bot should go to.
If you want to have the bot automatically join the breakout room it’s assigned to, you can follow these steps.
Another alternative is to use Recall.ai. It’s a simple 3rd party API that lets you use meeting bots to get raw audio/video from meetings without you needing to spend months to build, scale and maintain these bots.
Thanks @amanda-recallai for the info!
