Zoom: Create Breakout Rooms

Breakout Rooms are available on the LiveOnline@UT (Zoom) application. Meeting leaders may select the Breakout Rooms icon on the meeting toolbar to get started. 

An example of the Breakout Rooms icon on the meeting toolbar.

After selecting the icon on the meeting toolbar, the Breakout Rooms configuration window will appear. Next, leaders may enter the number of rooms they wish to create (limit is 100 per meeting) and leaders may choose how to distribute meeting participants to rooms. The distribution options are

  • Allow the application to assign participants to rooms randomly
  • Select participants and assign them to a room manually
  • Allow participants to choose a room (If participants do not have this option, they will need to update the version of Zoom on their device.)

An example of two Breakout Rooms being created.

  • When ready, select Create to continue.
  • Select Open All Rooms when ready to begin the Breakout Room activity.

Two Breakout Rooms have been created and are ready to open.
