Enabling
Breakout Rooms
To enable the breakout room
feature for your own use:
1.
Sign in to the Zoom web portal.
2.
In the navigation menu, click Settings.
3.
Click the Meeting tab.
4.
Under In Meeting (Advanced), click the Breakout room toggle to
enable it.
5.
If a verification dialog appears, click Enable to verify the
change.
Note: If the option is grayed out, it has been locked at either
the group or account level. You need to contact your Zoom admin.
6.
(Optional) Select the check boxes for the following breakout
room options, then click Save:
a.
Allow meeting hosts to pre-assign participants to breakout rooms
b.
Allow hosts to broadcast message to participants. This allows
the host to broadcast a message to all participants in breakout rooms.
c.
Allow hosts to create, rename, and delete breakout rooms when
rooms are open.
Note: This option must be enabled by Zoom before it is available
and requires 5.9.3 or higher.
d.
Allow host to view activity statuses of participants in breakout
rooms (e.g. share screen, reactions). This allows hosts and co-hosts to quickly
view participants' audio and video status, if they are sharing their screen,
and any active reactions or nonverbal feedback. This feature requires hosts and
participants to have client version 5.10.3 or higher for activity statuses to
appear, and does not apply to participants joining on certain devices such as
phone, H.323, and SIP.
