How do I use Zoom Breakout Rooms for small group discussions during a virtual meeting?

Creating Breakout Rooms

Note: You can also pre-assign participants to breakout rooms when you schedule the meeting instead of managing them during the meeting.

1. Start an instant or scheduled meeting.
2. Click Breakout Rooms.
   
3. Select the number of rooms you would like to create, and how you would like to assign your participants to those rooms:
   • Automatically: Let Zoom split your participants up evenly into each of the rooms.
   • Manually: Choose which participants you would like in each room.
4. Click Create Breakout Rooms.
   
5. Your rooms will be created, but will not start automatically. Click Open All Rooms to begin the breakout.
