83 The set duration of the group time cannot be extended later on, but the group rooms can be manually terminated before the set duration expires, bringing all the participants back to the main room. Therefore, you may prefer to set a somewhat more generous duration and, if necessary, manually terminate the group rooms early. Inform the participants about the scheduled time (e. g. 10 minutes) and that you allow for some extra time (e. g. 5 minutes).
