Issue/Question
How do I enable breakout rooms in Zoom?
Environment
Cause
I want to be able to subdivide my Zoom meeting.
Resolution
- Log in to Zoom
- Click Sign In
- Sign In with your USD credentials
- Click Settings on the left side of the screen
- Click In Meeting (Advanced)
- Click the gray radio button next to Breakout Room
Note: The radio button will turn blue. If the radio button is already blue, Breakout Rooms are already enabled.
- If you don't see this option it is possible you are not a licensed user. Faculty and Staff accounts are licensed by default, student accounts are not.
If you need to request a licensed account please contact the Service Desk with the following information:
- Full Name
- Reason a licensed account is needed
Note: A maximum of 200 participants may be pre-assigned to breakout rooms prior to the meeting start
