    Thanks for responding . . .
    I designed a new layout specifically for the breakout session. 
    I display the typical sharing layout, assign attendees to breakouts, switch to the breakout session layout, then start the breakout.

    The attendees do not see the newly designed breakout layout.  Instead they see a blank whiteboard.
    On my computer (as the host/presenter) I am able to view the breakout layout.

    What am I missing?

    Ah, that makes sense.

    The layout of the breakout room is setup the first time you start it. When you acitvate the breakout room for the first time, it takes the layout of the active layout in your meeting room and clones it. Once the breakout room has been created, it then will keep the layout it has unless you go into that layout and modify it.

    If you want to use a different layout for your breakout rooms, the best work flow is to delete the breakout rooms, then re-create them. Then, before selecting the Start Breakouts button, make sure you are on your Breakouts Layout in the main room. Then once the new breakout rooms are created, they will reflect your desired layout.

    Is it a layout in the layout bar?

    Are the breakout rooms active?

    Is the attendee in an active breakout room?
