Get to know Webex Breakout Session & Co-Host - You've never been to a live or offline event. Well in the event you must also have encountered several more events in it, where there are not only the main events but there are other events as events that enliven the main event. 

For example, in the health talk show, there are free medical check-ups, healthy gymnastics classes, herbal workshops, and various other related events. 

But sometimes it's a companion event held together in each tent so you have to choose one of the events you want to participate in or even you move around to follow everything.

Knowing About Webex Breakout Session & Co-Host

If the event is offline, participants or participants can directly join or enter and exit to the desired side event, but at the online event, they are unable to join directly to the side event or breakout session. 

That's because only Hosts &co-hosts can get participants or participants to join the Breakout Session. So, if you as a participant want to join one of the breakout sessions, you must provide info to the host or co-host via chat or registration form first. 


In events that use the Breakout Session feature, there are sometimes some people who co-host. They are tasked with helping the host organize the online event. For example, one co-host arranges one or more breakout sessions.
