However, deciding who goes into which breakout room and setting them all up can take up valuable time, so for this reason, the company is now rolling out a new feature that will let users setup breakout rooms before starting a meeting.
Setting up breakout rooms in advance
Google Meet users can now set up breakout rooms in advance using Google Calendar (opens in new tab) which will makes things easier for both teachers and meeting facilitators.

There are no admin controls or end user settings for creating breakout rooms in advance in Meet and this feature is now available for Google Workspace (opens in new tab) users as well as G Suite business customers.
