Asking for Help in the Breakout Room

This is almost like an SOS button for your students. When in the breakout room all participants will see the ask for help button and this will signal for you to join that particular breakout room.

1. Once the breakout rooms are open, all participants will see the “ask for help” button. This button looks like a question mark in a square and says “ask for help” below it.

2. When a student clicks on this button, the following message will appear on the host’s (in this case the professor’s) screen:

3. You can then directly join the breakout room using the blue “Join Breakout Room” button that prompts with the image above instead of having to go through the whole process of clicking the breakout room icon and clicking join on the room the student is in. PLEASE NOTE: Only the host will be able to see this message. The co-host/TA will not be able to see this.
