How the teacher assigns the breakout room
● As soon as you click “Open All Rooms” those participants have to click to accept. Then they disappear into their room.
Host Controls:● Host can see who is in each room.● Host can click on a room and enter
it at any time.● Host can remove anyone from that
room at any time by clicking on their name and selecting the option you want.
● Host can send them messages, and notify them that the meeting will end soon.
More host controls
Participant Controls: They can. . . ● “Leave” a breakout room and return to
the main session at any time● click a button to get the host’s

Cautions!● Must assign 2 staff members to each
breakout room. (for accountability purposes)
● Must have 2 licensed staff members + 2 paras
● Need 2 licensed for main session.○ If teacher leaves the main session to
assist a room, then the main session is unsupervised if you don’t have 2nd licensed staff member.
● Must have a certified teacher hosting the session
Cautions! #2● Teacher cannot see into or monitor
the breakout rooms all at the same time. Teacher can only see into one room at a time.
● Monitor Chat session by turning it on for you to see what is entered
○ Do not need to use- just ensure that students are appropriate in Chat session
● If issue with student, notify teacher ASAP
● Always have the students “Leave the room” FIRST
