Allocating a physical resource to a participant for use in connection with a virtual breakout room

Multiple participants of a video conference may be detected in the same physical space. A first participant of the multiple participants may be assigned to a virtual breakout room that is associated with the video conference. An availability of a physical resource for the first participant to use in connection with the virtual breakout room may be determined. The physical resource may be allocated to the first participant for use in connection with the virtual breakout room based on the availability. For example, a group of participants may be detected in the same physical space, individually assigned to virtual breakout rooms, and/or individually allocated a physical resource for use in connection with the virtual breakout rooms.
