Breakouts

During the session, just like in a physical classroom, you can split your students into smaller groups and have the groups work in separate breakout rooms. You can even go and visit each of the breakout rooms to observe students working or help them in arriving at an answer. Whenever you're ready, you can close the breakout rooms and bring the attendees back into the main room.

To create breakout rooms, follow the steps below:

1. In the attendee pod, click the breakout room icon

. Three breakout rooms will be created automatically - you can see those at the bottom of the attendee list

2. If you would like to create more breakout rooms, click the new breakout room icon for each new group you'd like to create. The maximum number of breakout rooms you can create is 20.

3. You can assign your students to the breakout rooms randomly by clicking the evenly distribute icon . (2 arows)

You can also assign specific students to the breakout rooms by dragging and dropping individual student names into the breakout rooms.

Once you have assigned students into the breakout rooms, you will see their names in the list directly underneath each of the rooms.

Useful hints:

You can use control-click or shift-click to select multiple students for moving at once to a break-out room
When you click on the students' names, a pop-up menu will appear which you can also use to move students to breakout rooms
If you'd like, you can assign SOME of the students to specific breakout rooms and then assign the remaining students randomly using the evenly distribute icon (In that option, attendees previously assigned to specific breakout rooms remain in those rooms.

To start the breakout rooms, simply click on the Start Breakouts button:

Once you have started the breakout rooms, you will see a black tab incicating: "Your are now in a breakout session"

To visit the breakout rooms, from the attedee list you can drag yourself to any breakout.

Finally, when you are ready to close the breakout rooms and return to the main room, all you need to do is click on End Breakouts.

Please note:

If you are recording a meeting, only the main room is captured
