Teams - Create, manage, and configure breakout rooms Tutorial

Open breakout rooms from the meeting control bar, where a rooms panel appears on the side. If rooms are prepped, you can see their status, assign participants to rooms, and use auto-distribution or manual placement. Start group work by saving assignments and opening rooms; participants move automatically or receive invitations. Add rooms mid-meeting, rename or delete them, and manage attendees. Use the three dots to join, rename, delete, or announce messages to all rooms, then leave rooms to return to the main meeting when ready.

edit,

00:00:05

and open breakout rooms directly from the meeting.

00:00:09

In this example,

00:00:10

the meeting is already open.

00:00:12

In the control bar,

00:00:14

click room.

00:00:15

The room's panel appears on the side.

00:00:18

If rooms have been prepared before the meeting,

00:00:20

you can find them here with their condition.

00:00:23

In our case,

00:00:24

the rooms are still closed.

00:00:26

You can adjust the distribution of participants first,

00:00:29

click assign participants.

00:00:31

In this window each person can be placed in a specific room.

00:00:36

You can select a person and then choose another room from the list.

00:00:40

If some participants aren't already assigned,

00:00:43

teams can also automatically distribute them

00:00:46

when the distribution is correct,

00:00:48

click save

00:00:50

to start group work,

00:00:51

click open rooms.

00:00:54

Teams opens rooms and moves participants according to the chosen settings.

00:00:59

If auto move is enabled,

00:01:01

people will return to their room without further action,

00:01:04

otherwise they receive an invitation to join their room.

00:01:08

During the meeting you can still adjust the organization,

00:01:12

click add room if you need an additional group.

00:01:15

The new room appears in the panel,

00:01:17

usually closed at the beginning.

00:01:20

In each room,

00:01:20

the three points give access to useful actions.

00:01:23

You can rename the room,

00:01:25

delete it,

00:01:26

manage its attendees,

00:01:28

or join it.

00:01:29

The announcement option allows you to send a message to all open rooms.

00:01:33

This is useful for giving instructions,

00:01:36

announcing the time remaining,

00:01:38

or asking the group to prepare a response.

00:01:41

The message appears in the conversation of each room.

00:01:44

As an organizer,

00:01:46

co-organizer,

00:01:47

or room manager,

00:01:48

you can enter an open room,

00:01:50

click the three dots in the room,

00:01:53

and then click join.

00:01:55

Teams then opens the room in question.

00:01:58

You can listen to the exchanges,

00:02:00

answer questions,

00:02:02

and consult the conversation in this room.

00:02:05

To return to the main meeting,

00:02:07

use leave room.

00:02:09

Be careful not to choose leave meeting

00:02:12

if you only want to leave the room

00:02:14

when the group work is complete,

00:02:16

return to the room's panel and click close rooms.

00:02:20

Participants leave their room and return to the main meeting.
