I tried Breakout Rooms today, and it worked like a charm. I could go from one group to the other by Joining their rooms to find out if they're doing fine. It's like in a physical classroom. I got them to watch a video first. After their discussion, I got them to write their thoughts in Padlet about how the movie began (Room 1) and ended (Room 2), and got them to comment or rate each others' work. Great stuff. The kids love it. Just sharing :-)
Thanks for leaving another comment, Kevin. It can work really well like you describe. If you treat that part of a 'live' session like you would a physical classroom, where you would watch a video, then set up a task, group them and then monitor, joining breakout rooms in that way, should be effective. It's only when the task or instructions are not so clear, that students could be in a room, feeling clueless or not knowing what to do. Tell them that you going to join each of their rooms, too, if needed. I'm sure the kids love it when you just pop in and say something! Russell.
Dear Russell, there's no other way to start my comment than saying THANK YOU VERY MUCH FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! I've learned so much with YOU and your detailed and clearly explained videos that everything 's been so easy to me. Love and hugs from Lima, Peru.
Thanks Russel. I've looked at a number of videos to learn how to do breakout rooms, including ones produced by Zoom, and yours was the ONLY one that showed me how to go into advanced settings to turn on the breakout room option.
I am watching your videos to help me teach online ESOL classes with the refugees we work with. Thank you for these very clear, helpful and FREE videos to guide me in this volunteer work.
I discovered something interesting yesterday while using breakout room. While students were in their respective rooms, one of them asked me a question and a window pops up to inform me who the student was and whether I would like to go into that room. I don't know how this student did that. But it's a really good feature that all users and teachers should know how to use.
Thanks for that comment, Sue. I appreciate when people take time to say how clear my videos sometimes are. More on Zoom here: www.teachertrainingvideos.com/Zoom
Thank you for providing the Zoom breakout rooms sharing screen section. I've been having difficulty in sharing the screen while they are in the breakout room. Thanks to you it's going to work! Keep giving us more tips.
This is just awesome! I will use it for my 2 classes next Monday. Thx a lot again. Will share your videos with the 1300 English teachers members of my mailing list.
@@ttvRussell I think I have watched them all but I will check. I also discovered that students have to download the app, if they log on via Mozilla, but they won't need it with internet explorer. Am I right? Thx again for your precious help.
Very Helpful! I love all your teacher tips! You make it easy to follow and you emphasize the important aspects that mean a lot for teaching! THANK YOU!!
comment from Watooka Day Nursery here. Your video on break out room was very helpful. We were able to follow your guide and make this feature apart of our zoom classes. thank you for sharing

Wow, thanks for that, Karen! I'm perhaps not the best, but I certainly add my experience of using breakout rooms in Adobe Connect and other webinar tools. Although Zoom is more of a meeting (video conferencing) tool, it can be used in teaching, of course. Russell.
@@ttvRussell You explain it extremely well, though, which is what matters the most! I do need help on creating Polls. Any advise as to where the best resource is?
This is very useful. I plan to host a crossword puzzle completion contest with my church group and this gave me a better understanding of how to set up the groups. Thank you!

Great tips! Thanks!! I teach Italian to Dutch students (online at the moment) I got into a comic situation last week when I created two breakout rooms: the students in room 1 could clearly hear what the students in Room 2 were saying, but I wasn't aware of that until I finally entered the rooms after feeling very lonely in the darkness because I didn't know how to access the rooms. Tonight I will try to avoid that empty dark feeling
Ester, that honestly does not make sense. Once you are in a breakout room, you are separate from other people and should only hear the people in your room. That is really odd. I have never heard of that before. Might be a good idea to let Zoom know.
@@ttvRussell is it possible that maybe I entered both rooms by accident? I do not understand why that happened...good idea i will let zoom know about it or I'll simply try again. Thanks a lot!

Our Mac User Group's monthly meeting has been done in Zoom since April, we held the AGM that way in May. Breakout rooms are essential as we replicate the 15 sessions previously held in three actual classrooms. In addition, there are a couple of one-on-one help rooms and another designated as the lounge. The meetings run from 8:30 asm to 4:00 pm with a main presentation between 11 & 12. It's not uncommon the have upwards of 80 participants on a Saturday. The host mans the waiting room & as users arrive if they're on computers they are made co-hosts and allocated to the lounge Breakout room. Users on mobile devices get no benefit from being co-hosts, and are individually moved to the classroom equivalents designated as e-SIG rooms (SIG = Special Interest Group). The reason computer users are made co-hosts is so they can freely move from one Breakout room to another, vastly reducing the load on the designated host, who is a different person at various stages of the day. As for mobile users, when they finish a session in a breakout room, they drop back into the waiting room & can be re-allocated to another breakout room of their choice. The MUG also runs four satellite groups, one on a Tuesday morning, another the following Wednesday morning & the last one a week later on Thursday nights. Each Wednesday, at 3 pm & 8pm we hold Zoom training sessions for up to 90 minutes each. Plus the management committee meets via Zoom on a monthly basis. A photography group also uses Zoom for a weekly meeting. If it weren't for the Breakout rooms, we'd find it impossible to operate in a manner similar to when we could do face-to-face meetings. Currently our population area is under stage 4 lockdown, so Zoom is our salvation.
Really glad that my videos are helpful.I put loads of videos on my website about Zoom and they are very popular. You might find them useful. teachertrainingvideos.com/Zoom
@@ttvRussell I will definitely watch them because I think the most difficult think is to make it clear for people who are not very technological savvy, like me. I watched so many and finally yesterday it was so clear in such a short time! Thank you
One correction: at 4:33 the setting "Move all participants into breakout rooms automatically" doesn't mean whether you want to disable the automatic option. It means "do you want them to get a pop-up window that they have to click on in order to the join the breakout room or do you want to just move them to the breakout room without a pop-up?" I learned this in one of Zoom's Q&A meetings.

Hi Russell, Thanks so much for making our jobs in these moments easier. I've been following you since I saw you at ACEIA in Seville some years ago now. Thanks for sharing your knowledge from the bottom of heart indeed. Now, 2 questions for you that I haven't been able to sort it out. 1. How do you ban students in breakout rooms to move at their will from one room to another? You know that teens find out things really fast. 2) Have you ever heard of openboard? It's a Swiss app that can be adjusted to Zoom. I am still studying its functions. The thing is that as you are always ahead in terms of state-of-the-art tech, I thought you might've done something about it. Take care and hope to hear from you. HUGE thanks!
Hi MissPaulaFunEnglish. Thanks for the memory you shared. I'm really glad these videos are helping people. Students should be able to move to another breakout room once they have been assigned. However, the host (teacher) can remove them or send them back to the main room. Participants don't really have that option, but they can take themselves back to the main room. I am going to deal with security issues in my next Zoom tutorial. I have not heard of Openboard. If you think it works well well with Zoom then let me know more and I might investigate. Thanks, Russell.
@@ttvRussell Cool, thanks for your reply. I do believe openboard is really useful, and the good thing is that it can be integrated with Zoom. In fact, you don't need to be sharing or unsharing your screen the whole time (that's just ONE of the functions I've discovered). There are many other great things about it, such as sharing videos, pictures, surf the web within Zoom. If you have the chance to look into it, I'm sure you'll find many more things than me ;)
Hi Russel, great videos - so clear and through; you've really helped me start on zoom. Having begun teaching gentle exercise classes for the housebound, I'm planning a dance/movement class on Zoom, using external music (I'm an oldie with a CD mixing deck). Two questions about breakout rooms -1) Is there a way I can play the live music input into breakout rooms (the same music simultaneously into every breakout room) while the pairs/trios/quartets (max 4) in each breakout room can still see each other (i.e. move together) - or would I need to pre-record (e.g. onto Quicktime) to 'pipe' it in? 2) Is there a way that, while I'm screen-sharing an inspirational picture or video clip (e.g. of the sea, an animal running) into the breakout rooms, I (or those in the breakout rooms) could make the picture/video small enough for them to still be able to see and move in relation to each other (i.e. make the visual screen-share image around the equal size as the images of each of the duo/trio/quartet in the room)? Maybe these questions are too much for a pubic forum, and I need to have a personal coaching session with you. Darien Pritchard
no, you can't play music into breakout rooms. These are totally separate rooms. Each breakout room is a totally new Zoom room. You can't be in two at anytime. One student in each breakout room would have to share the music.
@@ttvRussell Thanks for your clear and concise response. Still working my way through and learning from your excellent videos. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

In fact, you don't need to be sharing or unsharing your screen the whole time (that's just ONE of the functions I've discovered). There are many other great things about it, such as sharing videos, pictures, surf the web within Zoom. If you have the chance to look into it, I'm sure you'll find many more things than me ;)
Excellent Russell. Very clear and at the right pace. Thank you! DIOLCH YN FAWR!

Hi Russel, great videos - so clear and through; you've really helped me start on zoom. Having begun teaching gentle exercise classes for the housebound, I'm planning a dance/movement class on Zoom, using external music (I'm an oldie with a CD mixing deck). Two questions about breakout rooms -1) Is there a way I can play the live music input into breakout rooms (the same music simultaneously into every breakout room) while the pairs/trios/quartets (max 4) in each breakout room can still see each other (i.e. move together) - or would I need to pre-record (e.g. onto Quicktime) to 'pipe' it in? 2) Is there a way that, while I'm screen-sharing an inspirational picture or video clip (e.g. of the sea, an animal running) into the breakout rooms, I (or those in the breakout rooms) could make the picture/video small enough for them to still be able to see and move in relation to each other (i.e. make the visual screen-share image around the equal size as the images of each of the duo/trio/quartet in the room)? Maybe these questions are too much for a pubic forum, and I need to have a personal coaching session with you. Darien Pritchard
no, you can't play music into breakout rooms. These are totally separate rooms. Each breakout room is a totally new Zoom room. You can't be in two at anytime. One student in each breakout room would have to share the music.
@@ttvRussell Thanks for your clear and concise response. Still working my way through and learning from your excellent videos. Keep up the good work. Thanks.
A really clear explanation, thank you!
