Can you do breakout rooms in Canvas conferences with Blue Button?

Hi  @laurel_bond  Welcome to the Canvas Community.

No, this is not possible with the basic Big Blue Button in Canvas. But a possibility that I've seen some distance teachers use is collaborations or the Class Notebook that are in the Canvas course for the students to work in collaboratively while the conference is taking place. Might that work for you too?

Apologies, YES Breakout rooms are available. AND very handy.

Yes, it is possible. Breakout Rooms are located on the Manage Users wheel.

To clarify, Bobby specified that breakout rooms are not part of the basic (free tier) Big Blue Button package. What Laura has described is available to premium tier users of BBB.
