It’s been a long time coming, but Zoom has finally updated their system to provide co-hosts with the same Breakout Room controls as meeting hosts. On Tuesday, December 8, Zoom released version 5.4.6 of it’s desktop application which allows meeting co-hosts to assign participants to, start and stop, and message with breakout rooms during live Zoom meetings. To take advantage of this new feature, make sure you update to the latest version of Zoom.
