Hi WorganNick-3205!

Sorry, as TKujala said, this feature seems still in development and we did not find any detailed release time from Microsoft.

Based on my research, if you are an Owner/Member of a Team are able to create Channels, you can try to follow this link guidance to create a Breakout Room in Teams:
