Video Breakout rooms with a Zoom Account

You can create separate breakout sessions in Zoom in order to hold live collaborative experiences and lead group activities while in a zoom meeting. 

Info

Assigned breakout rooms will only work for users using the desktop client or mobile app - otherwise if they are logged into the Zoom web client (or using a Chromebook/Chrome OS) -  they will just be put into the default main room.


Once you have pre-assigned the breakout rooms in Zoom, students must click in their Zoom toolbar "Breakout Room", and then click "join breakout room"

...

Once a meeting has begun, the breakout room pre-assignments cannot be changed through the web portal. To do this, the meeting can be ended, pre-assignments updated through the web portal, and then the meeting can be restarted. Alternatively, instructors can click Breakout Rooms, click the Recreate button, and use Recreate All Rooms. Note that when recreating breakout rooms automatically, students will be randomly assigned to breakout rooms.

Breakout rooms and recording

  • If the meeting is being recorded to the cloud, the recording will only record the main room, regardless of what room the meeting host is in.
  • If the meeting is being recorded locally to a computer, the recording will include whatever breakout room the person recording participates in. 
    • Multiple people can record locally if allowed by the host. 
    • The host can designate one person in each breakout room to record locally and then share that file with the host after the meeting.
