[OSList] Zoom 5.3 FINALLY supports OST - participants moving among breakout rooms is enabled

[Carmela Ariza]

Thank you for this update Csaba,....yes, it is an important development...
True happiness is a state of mind.
Happiness is not a consequence of things that happen. 
Do not pursue happiness - practice it. 
Sing, even if you do not sound good. 
Smile, even when things go wrong. 
Create happiness, and happy you will be.

 Hi all,
Good news for all of us, who use Zoom: the new version, 5.3 (out today), has finally enabled a new Breakout rooms option which allows participants to move among breakout rooms.

That has removed the biggest roadblock towards hosting OST events in Zoom (there used to be a workaround, but it had serious issues). 
Technically it's very simple, when creating BRs, you just select the option "Let participants chose the room" + all participants must refresh to version 5.3. That's all...

There is further room for improvement, e..g participants joining via mobile app cannot move among breakout rooms, but it's a minor issue compared to the big breakthrough...  
BR,
