mixed breakout rooms with pre-defined leaders

[SPCCR]

We have a 10month study curriculum that we're doing with a static group of participants each week.  

Currently, we have 20 participants - 2 of which are facilitators.  After we meet as a large group, we want to breakout into 2 breakout rooms for the facilitated discussions.   We would not complete our curriculum in a reasonable time if all are in one large discussion each week.  But, I don't want "two groups" to naturally form among the larger group.

I want to randomly assign 18 of the participants between each breakout room each week - but I want our 2 facilitators to never be in the same breakout room.  Facilitators will be host/co-host.  Can I have zoom assign the host/co-host to different breakout rooms and randomly assign everyone else between them each week?

(I saw a similar question from 2023 in this board - but there was no answer to that post.)

Thanks,
Dave

You can exclude co-hosts from automatic random assignment then add each co-host to the appropriate room. Do a trial run with at least 6 participants and 2 co-hosts. There is an option under assign automatically option that you can set to exclude co-hosts.
