Zoom’s breakout rooms feature is an excellent tool for enabling participants to split into smaller teams for either a dialogue or teamwork activities. Nonetheless, it can sometimes pose a challenge to determine the appropriate group for each attendee. In this piece, we’ll explore how to enable participants to select their preferred breakout room in Zoom.
Step 1: Create Breakout Rooms
The first step is to create the breakout rooms in Zoom. To do this, click on the “Breakout Rooms” button in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen. Then, select the number of breakout rooms you want to create and give each room a name.
Step 2: Assign Participants to Breakout Rooms
Once you have created the breakout rooms, you can assign participants to them. To do this, click on the “Assign” button in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen. Then, select the participants you want to assign to each room and click “Assign.”
Step 3: Allow Participants to Choose Their Own Breakout Room
To allow participants to choose their own breakout room, you can use the “Open All Rooms” feature in Zoom. To do this, click on the “Breakout Rooms” button in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen and select “Open All Rooms.” This will open all of the breakout rooms and allow participants to choose which one they want to join.
Step 4: Monitor Breakout Room Activity
While participants are in their breakout rooms, you can monitor their activity by clicking on the “Breakout Rooms” button in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen and selecting “Monitor.” This will allow you to see which room each participant is in and what they are doing.
Conclusion
Allowing participants to choose their own breakout room in Zoom can be a great way to encourage collaboration and discussion. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can easily create and assign breakout rooms, and allow participants to choose which one they want to join.
