When hosting a <var class="keyword">

RingCentral
</div></var> Video meeting on your desktop or web app, you can use breakout rooms to split participants into smaller groups. You can choose which participants to add to which breakout rooms, or have participants auto-added. You can also choose when to send participants back to the main meeting, or set a timer to automatically close the room after a certain amount of time.
