Breakout rooms

Provide your customers with the opportunity to participate in small group discussions by utilizing Kajabi Live’s Breakout Rooms. 

With Kajabi Live, Breakout Rooms will separate your attendees into virtual rooms where they can further discuss your prompted topics in a small group setting.

By creating a space to engage with their peers and discuss your prompts in a more intimate environment, you can encourage deeper learning and participation among your clients.
