New Zoom Extension
From Managing Breakouts to Facilitating Breakthroughs
Breakout Buddy is the free Zoom companion app that gives facilitators superpowers. No more clunky room assignments, time-wasting setup, or rigid controls—just smooth, intuitive breakout management so you can focus on what matters most: creating meaningful connections.
Facilitators everywhere struggle with standard Zoom breakout rooms. Breakout Buddy makes all of this simple, flexible, and fast.
33% waste time on setup. Configuring rooms is a chore.
29% can’t monitor conversations. Limited visibility across rooms
Assignments don’t stick: Pre-assignments require Zoom accounts and reset every session.
Rigid controls. Once you launch rooms, adjusting is clumsy and limited.
