Today’s Zoom Tip - 14 January 2021

This week we are highlighting how to get the best out of using the breakout rooms feature in Zoom. Zoom breakout rooms  Using breakout rooms during a meeting works well for a number of engagement activities, such as brainstorming, problem-solving or role-playing, but there are a few things to consider before using them. How will the participants be organised? . This determines how you set up the breakout rooms. If you have a list of attendees and you would like them to be organised into the same groups throughout the session you can pre-assign breakout rooms in advance. However, if you want the option to change or mix up the participants during the session, or let them move freely between rooms (self-select), then don't pre-assign. If you opt for the flexible approach, schedule some time to plan how you will organise the rooms and allow movement between them.
