Breakout room timers, room retention, and participant reassignment features coming to Microsoft Teams next month

Last year, Microsoft introduced a very useful feature to its Teams called Breakout Rooms, allowing users in larger teams to move into smaller groups while a meeting is in progress, for a quick discussion. The company is now working on adding new improvements to the feature, which will allow users to go from one breakout room to another, and automatically close a breakout room after a preset time and allow them to return to the main meeting.

A future update of the Teams video meeting service could arrive this month according to a recent entry on the Microsoft 365 product roadmap.
