The following presumes basic knowledge of using breakout rooms on a ZipDX conference.
Invoking Expanded Breakout Rooms
Within a conference template there is a parameter labeled “Multilingual/Rooms.” This setting defines how many rooms are available to the conference. The default setting is “Monolingual / 10 Rooms.”
Changing the setting to “Monolingual / 50 Rooms” invokes expanded breakout room functionality.
For a one-time event this setting can be changed in the process of creating a conference.
It can also be saved into a new conference template so going forward you have a template preset to offer extended breakout rooms.
This expanded breakout room capability is included in the base rate. There is no additional charge for its use.
Comparing Normal vs Expanded Breakout Rooms
In both cases several rooms are assigned to special functions. The default setting of 10 rooms includes; 7 general purpose breakout rooms and 3 room dedicated to special functions.
| Comparing Normal vs Extended Breakout Rooms | ||
|---|---|---|
| Multilingual / Rooms Setting: | Monolingual / 10 Rooms | Monolingual / 50 Rooms |

| Announcement Room: | N/A | Room #47 |
| One-Way-Glass: | Room #8 | Room #48 |
