Notes for reviewers
...
I originally mentioned these breakouts to be a part of what tech support goes over with speakers/moderators in the greenrooms. There is also a bug with the breakouts using the mod function with 1.15, so that’s why I put 1.15 as the version, but this bug may be fixed with 1.16! It is logged in Jira; no progress yet.
Moderators can send attendees to breakout rooms during a session. This guide helps you manage rooms.

Send attendees to breakout rooms
Click on More in the session controls bar.
Click Moderate.
Enter a Breakout Duration (minutes). This is how long the breakouts will last.
Enter a Room Capacity. Once a room is full, more breakout rooms are automatically created.
Select either Prioritize by Tags or Assign RandomlyIf you want to group attendees at random, select Assign Randomly. Breakout rooms are automatically created.
If you want to choose how to group attendees, select Prioritize by Tags. Then select a tag from the drop-down menu and click Send it. Learn more about this option below.
...
What is Prioritize by Tags?
...
When an attendee has selected tags on their profile, they are able to be assigned to specific breakout rooms that align with their chosen tags.

This option groups attendees into rooms based on the tags they selected in their personal profile. For example, prioritizing by the Interests tag sends attendees with roughly similar interests into the same breakout room. Tags are unique to each event, so your site organizer will help you plan ahead.

Click View Breakouts.
This will show you how many rooms there are and how many attendees are in each room.

What to do if multiple rooms only have one person
...
We are aware of a current issue that sometimes sends attendees to a room alone. We’re hard at work to fix this! In the meantime, follow these steps to move them to a new room:
Enter one of the breakout rooms with only one person.
Copy the URL for that room.
Enter a different one of the breakout rooms with only one person.
Paste the copied URL into the chat in another room with only one person.
Tell In the chat, tell the person to click the link to join a room with more people.
Retrieve attendees from breakout rooms
Attendees are automatically brought back to the main session when the breakout timer reaches zero. But if you need to bring them back earlier, use the Retrieve button. For example, if you accidentally set the duration as 100 minutes instead of 10 minutes, you could retrieve attendees after 10 minutes.
From the main session, click Retrieve.
Click Confirm.
All attendees are brought back to the main session.
