I want to get a blank whiteboard for breakout rooms. When I create breakout rooms, each one comes with a "Welcome to BigBleButton" slide. I can write on top of this but when I hover my cursor over the right arrow to go to the next (blank) slide/screen/board, I get a forbidden glyph (red circle with a diagonal red line). I'm stuck writing on top of the welcome slide.

Hi,

When viewers join the breakout room, they will see the current slide from the main room.  The left/right arrows for slide navigation will be disabled as the breakout room has only one slide (the current slide from the main room).

So the solution is to select a blank/white slide before changing to the Breakout room.

Thanks, That works.

A second option is to create break-out rooms ahead of the event with a long duration. Upload a presentation with exercises and blank sheets, then assign people to the that room whenever needed.

Kind regards
Ferdinand
