Join a breakout room
-
By default, you'll be moved into your assigned breakout room as soon as your instructor opens the room. No action is required on your part.
-
If your instructor has turned off the automatic setting, you'll receive a message notifying you of the open breakout room. Select Join Room on desktop or Join on mobile to join the room.
-
If you're joining from your mobile device, do not navigate away from the meeting while your instructor is setting up rooms.
-
You'll also receive notifications to rejoin the main meeting or if you are moved into another room.
-
If you need to switch devices during the meeting or join with two devices, you'll still stay in the correct breakout room.
Chat in a breakout room
Each breakout room will have its own chat. You'll be able to access it from your chats list and from Chat in the breakout room.
-
You will be added to a breakout room chat when your instructor starts the room. You'll be removed from the chat when the room is closed.
-
You can still see the chat history and any files shared after the breakout room is closed, including meeting recordings.
