You can create breakout rooms in
Google Meet as a way to divide a conference call into smaller sessions.
You need a paid subscription version of the service to access this feature.
Once created, breakout rooms can be edited or ended at any time.
Breakout rooms in Google Meet allow moderators to divide the participants of a video conference into smaller groups.
This creates one or more separate video calls within the main video call, where each group cannot see or hear the other groups. Other video call services, like Zoom, also offer this feature, which is useful for breaking employees into teams or for classroom settings. When you want everyone to regroup, you can end the breakout rooms and everyone will rejoin the main call.
