At Ignite 2020, Microsoftannounced that it would begin rolling outthe new Virtual Breakout rooms in Teams at some point during this month. However, theMicrosoft 365 Roadmaplisting now suggests that the company has delayed the rollout of breakout rooms.

The entry on Microsoft’s roadmap was updated last week, and it indicates that the feature is expected to be rolled out to all users in November. By the look of things, the release schedule has been updated based on the feedback received from the early adopters. Microsoft is probably working on addressing some additional issues before making it available to everyone.

It is important to note the Breakout rooms feature is getting a lot of use in Zoom these days. Indeed, it’s the most highly anticipated of all the Microsoft Teams new features. With Breakout rooms, meeting organizers will be able to split participants into smaller groups for discussions. In case you missed it, thenew capability is currently available in preview, it has been designed to help teachers and companies to facilitate brainstorming sessions. As usual, we’ll keep an eye on its release and will update you once it begins rolling out.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.
