Missing icon breakout rooms

Hi, 

I'm a teacher using a teams account connected with the school! When I start a meeting in Teams I can't see the icon for the use of breakoutrooms. I checked the microsoft guide for working with the breakout rooms, but I can't get the icon to appear in the meeting. I checked my settings according to the guide and it should work. 

Some tips on how to get the icon in would be much appreciated! :) 

Cheers!

    Try to install Teams for VDI environment. Some applications such as Citrix might cause some feature of Teams to be not visible.

    Install teams for VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure)

    Download the Teams MSI package that matches your machine's operating system

    32-bit version : Find the download link for this version in the Microsoft docs reference link

    64-bit version: https://teams.microsoft.com/downloads/desktopurl?env=production&plat=windows&arch=x64&managedInstaller=true&download=true

    Note: Download links might get changed over time.

    I recommend to follow Per-Machine Installation in this case: (find out more in docs reference for per-user installation)

    Create the registry cmd admin:

    reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Teams" /v IsWVDEnvironment /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

    cd to the downloaded exe file location in the directory and run the MSI file. I recommend to use ALLUSERS=1 too (more info in the Microsoft docs link about this):

    msiexec /i Teams_windows_x64 /l*v teams_install.log ALLUSER=1 ALLUSERS=1

    Sing out sign back in from the users profile

    After sign back, sign out and sign back in on Teams for it to understand it is installed on a VDI environment.

    Here are references:

    I have the same problem and it is very frustrating as a virtual teacher. It seems to depend on if I access Teams through the app or via Microsoft 365.

    I had this problem before but now the button is back where it should be.

    It might have been caused by my AppData directory residing on a different drive via a directory link.

    After I enlarged the C: drive and moved the AppData map back into my %HOME% directory more problems where solved.

    Obviously Microsoft Programmers do not care about Microsoft guidelines.

    I have exactly the same issue - when i started the session earlier the icon was on the taskbar, and now that i want to use the breakout rooms, the icon's no longer there? I wish ms would spend more on fixing what they develop instead of continually developing new ****!
