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.
