Breakout Rooms are here for Teams, the functionality of creating sub-meetings under one large meeting. This tool provides users with an opportunity to break large group meetings into smaller groups, and a platform for participants to collaborate and have in-depth discussions. 

Start by checking if "New meeting experience" is turned on.

Note prior to using Breakout Rooms: 

You must be the meeting organizer and use the desktop app to access the breakout rooms option and to manage breakout rooms and participants. Meeting attendees and presenters will not see the breakout rooms option. It is not possible to transfer or share organizer capabilities. 

The breakout room icon is located on the meeting menu between the raise hand control and the ellipsis that reveals additional actions.

To change the settings start by Select your profile picture at the top right of Teams and then select Settings. Select Devices on the left and then, under Noise suppression, select an option.

By default, Auto is turned on
