Overview

Breakout rooms allow you to split your Zoom meeting in up to 50 separate sessions. The meeting host or co-host can choose to split the participants of the meeting into these separate sessions automatically or manually, or they can allow participants to select and enter breakout sessions as they please. You can also pre-assign participants to breakout rooms when you schedule the meeting instead of managing them during the meeting. The host or co-host can switch between sessions at any time, and monitor the level of activity in each room. Breakout room participants will have the same audio, video, and screen share capabilities as allowed in the main session.
