Great video & the explanation is always so clear! It helps me so much! However, as a 3rd Grade Teacher, it would be fantastic if I had the option to create the same breakout rooms each day w the same pre-populated names in each room, since my students are already assigned to groups. Setting the breakout rooms up each day & manually assigning names into 4 groups is so time consuming. This should've been a feature that was ready with this new release.
I experienced this in a Teams meeting we were all moved to different rooms and I was like how the hell did they do that. I wasn't looking for this video, but when it popped up I had to watch and now I know how it's done. Thanks 😊
Another fantastic video! Just had a few questions… 1.When automatically assigning rooms, some of the students get left out, do you know why this might be happening? 2.Is there a way of recording the meeting in breakout room without going into each one individually? 3.Can you confirm all those in a breakout room are automatically presenters?
If someone accidentally leaves the meeting while in a breakout room (ex. computer crashed) and then joins back in, will they be in the main meeting or in their breakout room?
@Mike Two quick Questions: 1. Why isnt there the ability to ADD a co-organizer or Co-Owner to a TEAMS meeting to assist with the management of the Breakout Rooms? As it is right now, even if an ADULT is in the MAIN MEETING as a presenter they are unable to move around the various break out rooms to assist in monitoring. 2. Right now Breakout Room permissions are working opposite of this video.. Presenters in the MAIN room do NOT retain presenter privileges in the breakout. ONLY the organizer has to visit each room and restore their presenter rights. Why is that happening? BTW, YOU ARE AWESOME!

Hi Mike. I've been sharing this great video. Once inside a breakout room, students should be able to record the meeting, right? My students have not been able to do this. I have to visit each room to turn on the recording. They can access everything else. Any ideas?
Can you pre-populate the breakout rooms before the meeting starts or can you only do this once the meeting has started? That could be annoying in large meetings
Thanks for this. But when you said you "gathered" all the materials from all the rooms, what did you mean exactly? Did you mean that you were able to see them, or that you actually transferred their files and notes to one central place so that you could review it all later?
As an organizer, I visited one of the breakout rooms and the participants could hear me speak but I couldn't hear them. Do I need to adjust a setting so that I can hear them talk in the breakout room? Thanks.
Correct. Attendees can have presenter rights, but we currently don't support co-organizers of meetings for breakout rooms. That feature is coming later in 2021
Thank you - this is a great video. Question - can I create the breakout sessions (w/attendees already assigned to a room) before the meeting? We are planning interviews with over 30 people and might be short on time to create breakouts on the spot.
Moves can only happen after breakout rooms are closed. More details in this article: support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/use-breakout-rooms-in-teams-meetings-7de1f48a-da07-466c-a5ab-4ebace28e461#bkmk_additionaloptions
Hi Mike, we tried breakout rooms for the first time today. I had some students still get the notification to "join room" after I closed the rooms. Any idea what could make this happen?
Hi Mike - we need to assign the rights to other trainers/presenters (holding a guest account) to assign students to the breakout rooms. Currently only the organiser (1 person only) can do this, which is very taxing for the organiser. can we have this feature to assign the breakout room rights to appointed trainers/presenters(holding guest account) please?
MIke, this is beautifully done! I was a Teams Terror...uh, as in terrified, to use it for my facilitated events. Thanks for such a clear explanation and how to use this great tool! #nomorefear
I see that you can view the chats and whiteboards of the breakout rooms after the meeting, but can the organizer see these while the meeting is happening without entering the rooms? So, for example, can a teacher monitor all the chats/whiteboards from outside the rooms or must the organizer enter the rooms individually to view them? Thanks!
When I open breakout rooms, all of my students enter as attendees and can't share, etc unless I manually change it in each breakout room. (even if I have them all set as participants in the original meeting) Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere?
You need to manually change if students are default as attendees. Your school IT admin settings might be defaulting all meetings for students to attendee
Hi Mike! This is great news! :) But I have noticed one thing, the pre-join window (where the settings for camera, audio etc.) goes back to the old one.
Hmmm - that's weird. I wonder if your school is in the midst of getting the new meeting updates and somehow rolling back. You can always file a support ticket at aka.ms/EDUSupport
Hey Mike, great video. Thank you. Can you set up these break-out rooms before the meeting starts in meeting options, or somewhere else? Do multiple people have to be logged in in order to set up breakout rooms? Also, How do I assign specific whiteboards to specific groups ahead of a meeting?
You can’t set them up,ahead of time, but we’ll be adding this feature later in 2021. Yes, you need to be logged in. You can’t assign Whiteboards ahead of time
Currently you can only move people in breakout rooms after the meeting is closed (or before it starts) More details here: support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-and-manage-breakout-rooms-during-class-meetings-18b340cd-1106-4fa5-a852-5676614f7e7d?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US
Hi Mike. We are seeing that students are able to return to the main meeting, even though we have not toggled on the room setting option for this. Any suggestions?
Question - once you bring folks back to the main room, can Teams automatically reshuffle them back into rooms creating new members for each room? We want to do something that looks like speed dating which requires new folks to connect each time you reopen the 4 rooms.
Is there a way to put a time limit on the breakout rooms? For example, can you put a 10 minute time limit for attendees to brainstorm and then after the 10 minutes they automatically get moved back to the main meeting?
This is a fantastic video! But, not all the features work the way described, for me. I want my breakout group attendees to be able to access the material they developed in their breakout meeting but they cannot. Is there a setting that I need to change?
Hi Mike, can you 'save' the groups you assign for break out rooms in any way? My classes work on long term projects in the same groups so it would be great to very quickly set those up in most online sessions.
@@MikeTholfsen Thank you - once they are recorded, how do they get stored - are the downloads accessible by the organiser, which Stream feed do they end up on? And also, does the organiser need to go into each group and hit record, or can anyone in the breakout room record them?
@@mrcraven8318 Given the situation with Stream migrating to OneDrive, it will depend on how your school/organization has recording set up. In terms of recording, each group will have to record the meeting separately.

New Microsoft Teams Break out option is amazing where all my students are engaging, sharing their ideas in relevant topics for the class discussion.

Hi Mike, Excellent demonstration! Is there any way to make one person not be in the breakout room? I was thinking to make a separate break out room and manually place them into that room? Would that work?
You can create the rooms and manually assign, then not assign anyone. But we currently don't support letting people jump into their own rooms. Many other features will be added in early-mid 2021, so stay tuned
If I want to meet with a student individually, can I create just one room where I add one student so I can meet with them? All other students would continue working in the main room.
Is it possible to share a screen in each breakout room. If so, that could even be an excellent way of controlling students at written exams. One breakout room per student, and they all have to share their screen. (While waiting for a function where you can share multiple screens at the same time.)
@@MikeTholfsen no they belong to my organization. It’s odd, the chat box only disappeared with my one team at work. With the other team, I had no issues. I couldn’t understand it
Hoi Mike, super dat deze tool er eindelijk is. Samen met een collega geven de via Co teaching les, kunnen we beide organisator zijn van een meeting en deze rooms instellen. ? Heb jij hier tips voor?
We ondersteunen momenteel slechts één organisator voor breakout rooms. We zullen de functie van meerdere organisatoren toevoegen in het eerste deel van 2021
Thank you for your videos, they are very helpful. I have a doubt, because I have started using breakout rooms with my students and when I create rooms and I start the rooms, students are not allowed to share their screen. I tried to change permission before starting breakout rooms in order that everyone could present in the meeting, but I'm the small groups they couldn't. Have I made something wrong or is that a presetting for students? Can I change that behavior? Thanks!
@@MikeTholfsen Thank you! I think it’s serendipitous because with my 5s it’s better to release the groups one at a time, just to double check they know what they should be doing!
