Hello John and Mira, we do have the ability to move people among Jitsi rooms.? What are all the options you would?want related to that???
For example, we're building a way for the?facilitator to initiate an automatic 1-2-4-All liberating structure where people can also see the conversational prompts right next to the video.
What other kinds capabilities would you like to see with Jitsi breakout rooms?

I don't use breakout rooms, but multiple rooms.?
However, that does not provide the ability to push and pull people to and from rooms. You can to do it with social engineering.

I've recently been experimenting with Jitsi. I like it so far. However, one of the things I can't figure out is how to establish breakout rooms. Where is that setting?

I think you are limited to 75 co-hosts.?
And I think you have to manually make each one a co-host.?
We have been exploring using other tools like Jitsi to create secondary rooms.
Or using separate?zoom rooms with links.
I am trying to figure out how to have a clickable object in a zoom space that let's people get to other rooms. So far, I only have found the chat room with links.?
Has anyone tried using Miro as a way to do this navigation of rooms?

Hey everyone,
Wanted to share something I learned yesterday which has opened up my use of Zoom breakouts.
?
I¡¯m helping my church to function on-line through a variety of different group settings, but I was asked ¡°is there any way we can recreate the informal times we have together after the service ¨C when people just cluster and chat in different
parts of the building/carpark/Starbucks nearby¡¡±
?
Orchestrating that via breakouts for 100 people is a challenge ¨C and who gets to decide where you put everyone??
If you do it randomly, you can end up with some socially awkward situations.?? All in all, a bit of an unnatural way to recreate an ad-hoc, spontaneous,
self-determining process analogous to Open Space.
?
Or so I thought¡. ¡but it looks like there is a solution!
?
As you all know ¨C as a meeting host or co-host, you can move freely between breakout groups.? So the trick is ¨C as people join the meeting,
make them co-hosts? [assuming that you know and trust them!].?
?
Create a set of breakout rooms with memorable names.? In my case:? Coffee Area, Tea Area, Quiet Zone, Car Park, Starbucks, Parents¡¯ room etc.? Also create a ¡®lobby¡¯ breakout room.
As people arrive in the main Zoom space, welcome them give them co-host power and assign them to the lobby.
From there, they can look at all of the other meeting room spaces, see who is in them, and join and leave them at will.? The law of two feet in action¡
As people get more familiar with the room names, they will pre-arrange where to meet.? ¡°See you in the car park after the meeting!¡±.
?
It¡¯s still far from perfect, but so much better than a bit of Facebook banter and a YouTube service¡
