Slack lacks breakout room support for structured group discussions

Teams using Slack as their primary communication hub must switch to external tools whenever they need breakout room functionality, creating workflow fragmentation. Slack's deliberate avoidance of full meeting features leaves a persistent gap for teams that want structured small-group sessions without context-switching. The missing feature is increasingly expected as remote work norms solidify.
