Zoom example
Zoom currently documents up to 100 breakout rooms for meetings, with participant capacity depending on the meeting licence and add-ons. Zoom webinar breakout rooms use different limits and licence requirements. Check Zoom's current guidance for meeting breakout rooms and webinar breakout rooms before planning your session. These are provider limits, not HeySummit limits, and providers may change them.
