Breakout rooms are quite tricky and it is really important to work through the whole video as there are a number of key settings that will change everything about the way your breakout rooms work. For example, if you don't have screen share set for students, then it is impossible for them to share anything when working online in their breakout rooms. It is also important for you to understand what happens when you close the breakout rooms and how the students come back to the main room.
Teachers are often confused with the way that students are placed in breakout rooms. There are actually two methods but it is much easier, especially when teaching online to do it automatically. It is possible that each time you use the break out rooms that you place students in different groups. Students don't always have to join the same group when working online in breakout rooms.
Zoom offers lots of flexibility when using the breakout rooms to teach online but you do need to be aware of several key settings including the settings you need to set up before even doing your lesson. You need to activate your breakout rooms before the lesson or they will not appear on your screen.
