Schedule a Webinar with Breakouts
Schedule a webinar with the breakout feature to allow for smaller group discussions throughout the session.
Notice: Seeing something different? You may be on joining from our classic platform. This article addresses the new GoTo app experience. View How do I schedule a webinar from the web? for the steps you need.
This is only available for Live events hosted through the
GoTo app. You can have up to 250 attendees join, either from the GoTo desktop/mobile apps or from a browser (Chrome/Edge only). They will need to select
Computer for their audio as dial-in numbers are not currently supported. Currently, the questions pane is not available during breakout rooms so attendees are not able to ask questions, and organizers are unable to answer them.
- Sign in to your account, and then select Schedule +.
- Enter a title for your session.
- From What type of event do you want to create?, select Live.
- Customize the occurrence frequency, start date, start/end times, and time zones as desired.
- From How do you want to interact with your attendees?, select Breakouts event.
- Optional: If this is a common event type that you will use, you can select Remember my choice to set this as your default event and interaction preferences when creating future sessions.
- Select Schedule.
What to do next: If desired, practice your session early by opening the event details and selecting
Practice. For a seemless experience, familiarize yourself ahead of time with
how to start and use breakouts during your session. When it's time for your session to actually start, select
Start to launch the session and then
Start Broadcast when you're ready to allow attendees in.
