Differentiate with breakout rooms

Completed

In a meeting, there’s a place and time for whole group discussions, individual discussions, and small group discussions. Teams is the place for all of them.

With breakout rooms, educators can break the class or a group of colleagues into groups for discussion and collaboration. Educators must be a meeting organizer or a presenter designated as a breakout room manager to create breakout rooms.

Breakout rooms come with options to:

  • Choose the number of breakout rooms needed
  • Assign participants to groups automatically or manually
  • Move participants between rooms
  • Send announcements to each group
  • Move between rooms to visit
  • Automatically end all group meetings and bring everyone back to the main meeting
