Note: You can also pre-assign participants to breakout rooms when you schedule the meeting instead of managing them during the meeting.
If your users do not have administrative control of their computers, this will require assistance from your IT Department to update the client. This requires ALL participants to be on Zoom client version 5.2 or higher - anyone joining a meeting on your account who does not have Zoom client version 5.2 or higher will be required to update to join the meeting. Note: Zoom Support can increase the maximum capacity of your account's Breakout Rooms to allow up to 100 breakout rooms, with a maximum capacity of 1000 per breakout room (depending on account limits). If you do not have a Large Meeting add-on, the maximum number of participants is limited by your meeting capacity. *The maximum capacities listed require a Large Meeting add-on. Maximum number of participants who can be assigned to breakout rooms* Up to 200 participants can be pre-assigned to breakout rooms.
These numbers only apply to breakout rooms created during a meeting. The maximum number of participants in a single breakout room depends on the meeting capacity, number of breakout rooms created, and if participants are assigned during the meeting or before the meeting. Multiple participants can record locally. If local recording is being used, it will record the room the participant who is recording is in. If the meeting is being cloud recorded, it will only record the main room, regardless of what room the meeting host is in. Users joined into the Zoom meeting from the Zoom Mobile App or H.323/SIP devices can participate in breakout rooms, but cannot manage them. * While both the host and any co-hosts have the ability to assign participants to breakout rooms, only the first submitted set of assignments will be accepted upon clicking Open All Rooms. They can choose to allow participants to choose their own room, but this must be done in the meeting when launching the breakout rooms.Īssigning*, starting, and ending breakout rooms
