Moving Attendees Between Rooms

In GoBrunch, you can easily move attendees between rooms during a breakout session. Simply access the Attendees list, select Move Attendees, choose the participants, and pick their destination. They will receive a prompt notifying them of the move, and if they don’t click OK, they will be transferred automatically after 10 seconds.

This feature allows you to move attendees between rooms within the same Space, whether bringing them to your room or sending them elsewhere. You can also move yourself when needed.
