Breakout rooms are now a new option!
Workshop sessions are best for round table open discussion, with up to 250 people per session. Multiple workshop sessions can be scheduled at a time and will allow up to 25 attendees to be on video and audio at once and up to 250 attendees in the session with audio. The first 25 people to turn on their camera should appear on screen.
Speakers and attendees can access this session from the workshop tab on the left panel of the event hub. Please see below screenshots how it would look like.

Few points to note related with Workshop:
Workshop will not be recorded
Workshop session will be open 2 minutes before the scheduled time
When speakers are assigned to one or more Workshop sessions, speakers will be able to join them through the “My Talks”.
If session schedule is over and there are still people in the workshop, the session will keep continue as long as people remain in the workshop. Once the session's end time has arrived, the "Join" disappears, so attendees who are not inside the session won't be able to enter anymore.
Make sure to disable Chrome’s hardware Acceleration setting, if you are having trouble sharing your screen.
