Breakout rooms: A tool available to the host of a Zoom meeting that allows for the assignment of students into different groups. The groups can then "breakout" into separate "rooms" and have sessions of their own. The host can join any of the sessions and switch between any of the sessions at any time. The sessions can be vacated, and students can come back to the main meeting. The main meeting is akin to a plenary session and the breakout rooms are the different subsessionssub-sessions.
This tool/feature is turned on and available by default on all Whitman Zoom accounts, if you do not see the Breakout Rooms tool in the meeting controls toolbar, nor the option to create pre-assigned breakout rooms when scheduling in the web portal, check your individual account settings. Please make sure that the Zoom client you and your attendees are using is the latest version. To see how to check for udates see this article.
