Breakout rooms are sessions that are split off from the main Zoom meeting. They allow the participants to meet in smaller groups and are completely isolated in terms of audio and video from the main session. Breakout rooms can be used for collaboration and discussion of the meeting.
The meeting host can choose to split the participants of the meeting into these separate sessions automatically or manually, or the host can pre-assign participants to breakout rooms when scheduling the meeting.
You can create up to 50 breakout rooms and have a maximum of 200 participants across all breakout rooms. You can also pre-assign up to 200 participants before the meeting is started.
- Only the host can assign participants to breakout rooms.
- The co-host can leave and join any breakout room only after they join a breakout room assigned to them by the host.
Once the host creates and opens the rooms, the participants will be presented with a pop-up inviting them to join their assigned breakout room. If the co-host has been assigned to a breakout room, they will join that room just like any other participant.
