How do I create breakout rooms in a Webex meeting?
Breakout sessions aren’t a feature in Webex Meetings—you’ll instead need to schedule a session in Zoom if you’d like to have your students work in small groups during class time. If your students will be working in the same groups all semester, you could also consider using Webex Teams for your class.
Can I download a list of attendees after a Webex meeting?

How do I prevent students from annotating my files during a Webex meeting?
