About Breakout Sessions
A breakout session is a meeting within a meeting. It is voice and video only. This feature
is useful if you want to meet privately with other participants during the larger meeting
to, for example, take a discussion offline and return to the main meeting with a decision.
Any participant in a meeting can start or join a breakout session.
If you are connected to the meeting with a video endpoint, you cannot participate in a
breakout session by using the audio and video from your video endpoint. To participate
in a breakout session, you must have a separate phone connection to the meeting.
Moderators in the web meeting room can move participants in and out of audio
breakout rooms.
The Participant List in the MeetingPlace web meeting room displays the number of
the breakout room and the names of the participants who are in the breakout room.
Breakout rooms are not supported in the Cisco WebEx web meeting room. However,
participants in a Cisco WebEx meeting can still participate in breakout sessions by
pressing the appropriate sequence of keys on their phones.
Note You cannot record a breakout session. Only the main meeting room can be
recorded.
Moving Participants To or From an Audio Breakout Room
If you are a meeting moderator, you can move to a breakout room yourself or send other
participants to a breakout room.
Before You Begin
 You must be a moderator.
 Decide, with other participants, the number of your breakout session (between 1
and 9).
 Make sure that you are in the MeetingPlace web meeting room.
