How to create ZOOM Breakout Rooms - Teacher Tutorial

[@susanareyes-montes6640]

This is great! I love the way you explained and the tools you used!

[@EmmaBalansay]

Thank you, I'm glad it helped.

[@meganlau3162]

Clear and step-by-step explanations! Thanks!

[@stephaniemarder4300]

Well done. Not only do I understand how to set the breakout rooms up but I understood how to use the rooms while managing the main room. Thank you.

[@EmmaBalansay]

Awesome. I'm glad.

[@tamilarasanpichaikannu7384]

I am new to Zoom. Your step by step guide is very helpful. You are also explaining slowly. Thank you👍😊

[@EmmaBalansay]

I'm glad to help. Best of luck.

QUESTION:Can you transfer a whiteboard assignment into a breakout room? Great lesson!

[@jenkersey8667]

Just noting, at 2:15 you note you leave the top square, move participants to rooms automatically, unchecked... but that function doesnt do what you say it does. You say it says it creates rooms automatically, which is incorrect. It does not say that. When you tick that box, it forces all users to enter into their breakroom rooms automatically, as soon as you open the breakout rooms, whether they click the “join breakout room” button or not. It prevents the issue you describe at 3:55 of people who don’t click on the button from staying in the main room, it forces them into their breakout room automatically without having to click the pop up. It doesnt matter whether you have randomized rooms, assigned rooms, or preassigned rooms, ticking that box forces all users into whatever breakout room scenario you have created (its great for kids and others new to zoom). I assume you have figured this out since the time of when you made the video, but it is important to note the inaccuracy for anyone else wondering. But thank you for making the video. I got some other tips needed!

[@andrealilli1788]

Hi - Just wanted to point out something. I did the same as you where I left the top option box (move all participants into breakout groups automatically), unchecked because I also wanted to manually create my groups BUT that's actually not what that box does. When you decide to open all of the rooms, it puts them all in (to your assigned rooms) without them having to click on a dialog box to get there. This is definitely good for little ones. I had a few not make it to their breakout group.

[@EmmaBalansay]

Thank you.

[@jenkersey8667]

I just made this exact point too :)

[@nandaniambepitiya7830]

Great!! Thanks a lot

[@namratakaninde1321]

Thanks for the tutorial! Now my students will be happy to have breakout rooms to collaborate.

[@harveyvargas2754]

Thank you so much for the tutorial. It's indeed very helpful.

[@thamizhspeakingindian587]

Very useful. Thanks

[@SH-up5ww]

Thank you very much!! I teach first grade and this was extremely helpful. I have another teacher who helps during my small reading groups and is a co- host. I would like her to be in a separate breakout room with her own group of students. Do I assign the co-host the same way as I would the students? Also, is there a way to automatically send students without them having to click on the invite?

[@EmmaBalansay]

Yes we do that too for testing or when tutor comes in room. You would move the teacher just like the students. As far as moving them automatically I don't know but I'll check settings to see if there is an option. I understand that with little ones it's hard to make them press the blue button to join the break out room. Let me know if you have any questions.

[@SH-up5ww]

@@EmmaBalansay Thank you!

[@quarintinehacks2256]

Yes. You do assign the co host the same way. I tried it!

[@ljd3766]

Can you assign the breakout rooms before you start the meeting?

[@EmmaBalansay]

Yes, it will ask for the emails though

[@judyouellette1896]

very helpful

[@EmmaBalansay]

Thank you. Zoom breakout rooms take practice but you'll do great.

[@beckyhuntley9388]

Do you put people in rooms by their email address? or? Is that list near where I can see it to make the assignments quickly?

[@EmmaBalansay]

You can actually assign people in breakout rooms before meeting by email. However our kids don't all sign in to zoom with their school email and sometimes use other devices so we usually have to do it manually once they're in the meeting.

[@yeiliramirez]

Can you help me do it on ipad?

[@lovinabenjamin2225]

Great video

[@EmmaBalansay]

Thank you.

[@aumkasecondaccount3218]

Is it possible in ipad

[@andreaa8801]

I can't find in meeting (advanced)

[@patriciaconley3826]

Hi, I put my students in by their email address and click save. Am I supposed to now email them the link?

[@EmmaBalansay]

Yes maam

[@ainulsyahirah4013]

Is there is a time limit to use the breakout room ? Can we go up to 2 hours ?

[@sagarpandey3159]

There is no time limit to use the breakout room unless u set one under options

[@quarintinehacks2256]

Thank you! This video is WAY more helpful then the other videos!

[@EmmaBalansay]

Yay I'm glad you thought so.

[@areli_gutierrez3012]

I would like to know if it is possible for me (as a teacher) to continue sharing my screen AFTER I create the breakout rooms. For example, if I make the breakout rooms and then I want to show and image for my students to discuss, is it possible?

[@sagarpandey3159]

From main to breakout.. You can't show your screen to those who are in breakout rooms

[@EmmaBalansay]

Yes you can and the students in the breakout room can also share their screen.

[@sagarpandey3159]

@@EmmaBalansay can you do it from the main room to breakout?

[@EmmaBalansay]

@@sagarpandey3159 Yes I did it from the main room. Or perhaps I didn't understand your question.

[@sagarpandey3159]

@@EmmaBalansay my question was.. while you as a host being in the main room.. can you share your screen with the users who are in the breakout? My thought is No... If it's possible.. let me know

I am on phone so how do I do this??

[@Strayclass781]

i acnt find it can you pleae explin it more

You can't find the button for breakout rooms? You first need to enable it in your settings.

@@Strayclass781 it takes a bit of practice. At my school I had to practice with other teachers.
