I am so glad I found your channel! Your tutorials have saved me during this time of remote teaching. I’m actually enjoying it more than I thought I would even though it’s a lot of work up front. I love how your videos are short, sweet, and to the point, but detailed enough that I know what to do. Keep them coming!

Greatly appreciated! You have opened my eyes for exploring more on this incredibly useful feature, I didn't use it efficiently. My fellow students' participation is lower than my expectation. It takes time to enter each breakout room, can I have a glance on every room simultaneously?

Thank you so much for this great tutorial! I will be using Zoom for a non-profit group (P.E.O.), but needed to have breakout rooms to brainstorm and share ideas, and then come back to the main group to share top ideas with the whole group. I had NO idea how to get the breakout room symbol to even show up, and you sure helped with that, and many more settings. Bravo!

[@geoffreygallegos5973]

Excellent tutorial! One question: when pre-assigning participants to rooms, I am finding that the pre- assignments don’t transfer over when the meeting actually begins regardless of which pre-assign option I select (CVS or inputing emails manually). Is there a Zoom issue when all the participants are external users with their own individual email address extensions? In other words, not from the same organization or institution like one school or corporation? Thanks for any guidance.

[@marcculioli8614]

Thank you for the video. My question is can we record this Breakout rooms or students can do it?

[@novatechnologytrainingcent3326]

Only the main room is recorded; however, participants can recording the breakout room locally

[@tashawong7154]

My question is What do the students do once they are in breakout room? IS this like working together to save a problem? IS there a way to maybe supply them with a problem in their breakout room? I am a third grade teacher and would like to use this for math...

[@tomm62]

We have been experimenting with ‘breakout rooms’ and feel that overall, it seems to fit the bill for what we are looking to do, but we noticed a few things that seemed odd that we wanted to clarify with you: 1. If a participant is in a breakout room and he needs to chat with the host (ie to ask him a question), it seems like that chat functionality doesn’t allow that and the only way to communicate with the host is thru the ‘ask for help’ button which then just gives the host just 2 options to respond (to come to that breakout room now or send a message that he’ll come later). Are we missing something here? Is there a way to allow for the host to chat with participants in a breakout room without having to be ‘in’ the breakout room? That would be much more useful in our opinion. 2. Is there any way for participants in a breakout room to communicate with participants in another breakout room? Thanks in advance!

[@novatechnologytrainingcent3326]

Tom, you're correct. (1) While in a breakout room, participants can only chat with other participants in the same room. The only way to communicate with the host is to "ask for help" and wait for the host. (2) No, again, they can only communicate with other participants in the same room. This is by design.

[@RosaRodriguez-ne3ct]

[@laurieknab651]

If you have a second device, you can break the class into two halves one device in one room and one in the other. You can monitor both groups at the same time!

When you pre-assign breakout rooms before the meeting begins, do you just enter names of participants? How does Zoom identify the participants? Do you need to enter specific emails for each individual you are assigning in each group? Also, can you create the breakout rooms halfway through the meeting?

[@nlcithelpdesk]

You can join the rooms individually (only one at a time). Then share your screen that way. Or you might just have to share your screen before breaking out.

[@hannahainsworth789]

Yeah, I'd like some help with this too...

[@ubuntufrank]

I've not been able to get round this problem myself. I think the feature is simply missing and it's be great if Zoom would listen to us teachers who'd like our students to still be able to see shared content while in breakout rooms.

[@mialaciel8176]

If you make one person your co host, they can share their screen. I use 1 breakout room with my teacher assistant

[@sarahenslow1346]

one way i've found around this problem is if the content I'm using is in a google application, like the doc or slides, where a link can be shared with everyone. I've sometimes set up a space for work for each group if it's something that I want to be able to review or share with the whole group when they come back together. This also lets me have a bird's eye view of what each group might be doing. If I just want people to look at something, then I make sure that the shared link is set to allow only viewing.

Can breakout room participants see a screen shared by the host? I want my students to practice listening and speaking using a digital textbook. They need to read aloud from a digital book on a shared screen.

[@juliehahm385]

I just tried this with some teachers. I could share my screen while I was in the room but as soon as I left, the screen share ended. They can share screens with each other within the room.

[@kimmcgovern6322]

Thanks, Julie! So, in order to practice from the digital book, students would take a screenshot/picture of the page and try to use it in a breakout group activity. Sounds complicated. The whole class relies on cell phones, too.

[@jamesmorris9161]

You could also upload pictures and files to a Whatsapp group or something similar, so all students have easy access to it. Still a bit annoying on phones, but at least then everything is in the same place! :)

[@haoenterprise7773]

Hi, thanks for the great tutorial. Recently I was really having hard time to use "Pre-assign b.o." feature. I've imported the csv template and, for testing purpose, I had 3 rooms and each room has 2 attendees. I pre-assigned them using their email addr. Eg "Room A", [e-mail] & [e-mail], and so on for B & C. I even followed Zoom's Help Guidelines to make all 6 attendees joined the meeting BEFORE host. However, when the Host started the meeting, there is NO ONE got pre-assigned to any rooms. Rather they are still waiting for the host to manually assign. I've sent a request to Zoom ask for tech support but no response. Could you help out? Anywhere I did it wrong? Thanks much!

[@stephenreynolds4677]

I have the same problem. Should another option appear on the mini-screen you get after clicking "Breakout Rooms" during the meeting? Has anyone solved this? (Or is this another bug that's unique to Linux implementations of zoom?)
