BETTER PARTICIPATION. BETTER NETWORKING.

In-session Breakout Rooms

Turn passive viewing into active conversation. Split attendees into focused groups during a live session; give them space to network and explore ideas; then bring everyone back together—without breaking the flow of your webinar. 

The Problem

One stage cannot carry every conversation

High-intent webinar audiences arrive with different questions, experiences, and goals. When everyone can only watch the same stage, peer learning disappears, quieter attendees stay invisible, and valuable context never makes it into the room. That makes even strong content feel one-way and gives demand-generation teams fewer moments of genuine participation to build trust around.

The Solution

Orchestrate meaningful small-group moments inside the live session

Hosts and co-hosts can open breakout rooms from the live-session controls, assign attendees randomly or by uploaded CSV, and optionally let participants choose a discoverable room. While discussions are active, facilitators can move between rooms, send an announcement, apply a shared timer, and close the breakout to reunite attendees with the main session.
