Bigbluebutton: Reuse breakout rooms

Created on 18 May 2020  路  3Comments  路  Source: bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton

I'd like to reuse breakout rooms.
Part 1 in small groups.
Part 2 all in plenum.
Part 3 in same small groups as Part 1 --> Move them by hand. It would be nice to just reopen the rooms of Part 1.

btw. is there a way to change the breakout-time-limit while running?

Just having an outside-perspective, I think that would not be a big problem. If you save a map of User->Room on the first assignment, you can provide a button "As last time" that just preassigns all remaining users according to that mapping. Missing users could be ignored, new users have to be assigned manually as usual.

We would like to have a setting, where members of breakout rooms stay either the same (to continue a breakout room session after an intermediate reporting session in plenum) or are always different.

Use case for mixing up: Let 50 people talk 1-1 in in 25 breakout rooms. In a second round, make sure, that they meet somebody else.

@rasos, please use another issue to add your feature request as it's unrelated to this one

@Beiri22 no, you can't extend the time limit of the breakout room. As for "reopening the rooms", I think you probably want to just save a certain user configuration as the concept of a permanent room doesn't exist. How do you propose this work for users that leave halfway through the meeting?
