Order my new book, which includes an entire chapter of stepbystep screenshots covering breakout rooms! Teach Yourself Visually: Microsoft Teams: http://jum.to/TYVTeams
Breakout rooms for Microsoft Teams are here! This video covers all the ins and outs of separating your big meeting into a bunch of mini meetings to support corporate events, classrooms, and more. We cover creating, joining, assigning, and closing breakout rooms as well as what features are on the horizon and what functionality currently isn't supported for both organizers and attendees.
Breakout rooms rolled out in December 2020, delayed twice from an initial rollout in October 2020. Further enhancements are planned. More info: https://jum.to/34YXdP4
