Set up Breakout Sessions

If your user account privileges allow you to host breakout sessions, you can set breakout session assignments within the Webex Training scheduler. You can preassign attendees to breakout sessions here, or make these settings later from within a training session.

Preassign Breakout Session Participants

When scheduling a training session, you can enable preassignment of attendees to breakout sessions prior to your training session.

From the Breakout Session Assignments Settings section of the scheduler, you can do the following:

  • Enable the option to assign attendees to breakout sessions prior to your training session

  • Choose to have Webex Training make the breakout session assignments for you

  • Set the number of breakout sessions for your training session

  • Set the number of attendees per breakout session

  • Choose to manually assign attendees to breakout sessions as you manage your registrations

  • You must enable registration to manually assign attendees to breakout sessions before your training session.

  • The number of breakout sessions must be between 1 and 100.

  • The number of attendees allowed in a breakout session must be between 1 and 100.
