Hi Scott, thanks for this tutorial. When the participants are added via csv file before the meeting are they notified via email right after they are uploaded? Or do you have to share the meeting details like usual?

I followed your instructions and they were incredibly helpful to our team! Thank you so much! When we actually tested it, one of the people for some reason did not automatically get put into a room. We checked their email address was correct and they have a zoom account for sure. But we kept having this problem that this person would end up staying in the main room when everybody else was put into breakout rooms. Can you suggest a video to watch to troubleshoot this?

Excellent demo with clarity. One doubt- when we pre assign members while scheduling, what actually happens when they join the meeting? Will they go straight to assigned rooms when admitted from waiting room? Will they show up in main room when admitted from waiting room? Thanks

Hi Scott, Thank you for this video. When I add the email addresses into the participants box it doesn't save. Is there a trick or something I need to know? I really like this video it was super helpful. Thanks again.

Scott, if you are collaborating with another person on the meeting and the breakout room assignment, do you have to make the other person the host in order to import the breakout room assignment?

Thank you very much I have seen the prices I do not understand, it seems it cots a fortune @t ' pay monthy or annually per webinars plus if I want to put my clients into breakout rooms, for example 3 rooms it will cost me montky 50 eur per each group I am confused please help

I had attempted the pre-assigning breakout rooms and could not understand or find the reasons for the failure; you explained it clearly today: they need a Zoom account! I will be using the import method!

What about phone sign ons in breakout rooms? They don't sort by email, do they?

This was very helpful. It only seems that preassigned breakout rooms can be made for scheduled meetings, not for your Personal Room, is this correct? I usually leave my Personal Room open and have my students use the same link all day long. But the disadvantage is I can't use preassigned breakout rooms. Advice?

Thanks for video.I would like a question.I wanna copied some writing to all breakout rooms. For example, I will write something on main season chat box and this text coping to all breakout rooms chat box. I do not want to use "message to berakout rooms" function as pop-up. I wanna copy main season chat text to all the brakout rooms chat area.Is it possible?

A long meeting (e.g. a workshop) can have multiple breakout rooms discussions - same participants in different groups each time over the course of the workshop. Is there a way to pre-assign multiple breakout rooms sessions?

thank you Scott! Whew, doing a workshop & new to BO rooms! How do you get them out of the rooms, back to the whole group?!

Can you pre assign individuals to breakout rooms and select automatic to assign additional individuals? I want to pre assign two individuals into each breakout room...then I want Zoom to assign the remaining group automatically

Can you use randomized and preassigned breakout rooms in the same zoom call?

I watched this video many times, and then went about the work of setting up my groups. But somehow, when I tried to break my people into their two-by-two groups it didn't work. I can't figure out why. Any hints as to what step I might have missed?

This is really helpful. Can someone help me with this issue. Say that I have 10 people, is their an easy way that I can shuffle people so everyone get sa chance to be in a room with someone different? Im kinda stuck here..lol

Since it's required that pre-assigned participants need to have a Zoom account, do they need to be logged into their account in order to be placed in their respective breakout rooms?

This tutorial helped me but only got me half way. - I´m goint to have around 200 participants preassigned in 6 breakout rooms during one hour. After half an hour there is going to be a rotation, also preassigned. How can I plan this?

My group members are dynamic. I can't preassign them to a fixed room. I also can't edit participants every time prior to meeting. My members change. My team are in and out. So, is there a new way to create a csv file without putting room members? I mean empty csv file, just containing room without members?

I'm not sure I would use this feature given the key condition that the user must have a Zoom account and I must know the email assigned to that account. I've found it very easy to create the breakout rooms while teaching then move students around if I think there's a better match-up. Another option I like is "allow participants to choose their breakout room" - this is quite efficient when students are working in project teams that don't change throughout the semester. I just create the rooms, rename them to the project team, select the option that allows participants to choose, then when I open the breakout rooms students can go right to their team. It works really well.

Scott, this is incredibly clear and helpful. One Question: Does the requirement for a person to have a Zoom account apply to BOTH names entered directly and entered through a CSV file?

@Simpletivity

Yes, that is correct, Mark. Regardless of the entry method, in order for pre-assignment to work, they need to have a Zoom account.

@@stephaniebilodeau7413 I think that this CSV file is just a handy shortcut for companies etc. I just use the emails and if they have a zoom account they go directly into the breakout room but if they don’t have a zoom account I manually put them in. It took a little while but I think I have it down, if you can practice it would be great.

so we can only make one csv file for one breakout room?

Would all the participants be assigned to the same breakout rooms in the following meetings? Or does the host have to do this setting every time?

Hi Scott, great video, many thanks for your clear explanation. I have a special question, I have 4 rounds of breakout sessions with 10 groups per round and 3 pers. per breakout room in a zoom meeting. Every 15min of the Zoom meeting we set up a breakout session with the 10 breakout rooms, the groups need to be different per round. Is it possible to create in advance all the breakout rooms for all the 4 rounds? How? So far I only managed to create the first round of 10 breakout rooms. I hope you can help me?

I just tried it an I saw that one not preassigned user was not assigned. the downside: I did not see this, before I started the breakout sessions. Is there a way to assign those late unsers or users that I forgot to preassign before I start the breakout Sessions?

I get an error when uploading the csv, it says incorrect format. I didn't change the format or the filed names. Once I open the csv file I can see that both room & email columns have got combined into a single cell. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

As mentioned at 2min 10sec without a Zoom account the person cannot be preassigned. You could potentially force them to register for the meeting by ticking "Registration: Required" on the schedule a new meeting page.

What happens if someone without a zoom account gets preassigned? will they just need to be manually sorted?

how to open the setings in zoom

I host speed dating events. Let's say I need 20 breakout rooms, ten Men and ten women. The ten men need to stay in the stay room at all time, but the ten women need to rotate to each of the ten men rooms. How would that work?

@Simpletivity

7 ай бұрын

Creating a setup for your speed dating event on Zoom is quite doable. You can set up 10 breakout rooms for the men, and the 10 women can rotate through these rooms. Here's a simple plan: Set up 10 breakout rooms for the men. You can do this when scheduling your Zoom meeting. Assign each man to a specific breakout room. You can manually assign them (I'd recommend numbering each room so the women know which room to go to next. For the women, you can either have them join the main meeting room initially or assign them to a specific room for their first "date." Every few minutes, announce a rotation. For instance, every 5 minutes, have the women move to the next breakout room. You can use Zoom's "Broadcast a message to all" feature to notify everyone when it's time to rotate. Ensure you have a clear schedule or timer to keep things organized. This way, the men stay in their rooms while the women rotate through each of them. It's a simple but effective way to facilitate your speed dating event. Good luck!

With the release of version 5.3.0, Zoom lets Hosts choose to allow Participants the ability to join the breakout room of their choosing. This will make pre-assigned breakout rooms less necessary in some situations.

Is there a tutorial on how to create fake participants for practicing in the break out rooms?

There is no such option in Zoom to use a csv file. Must be an old version of Zoom.

I would have to assume 100% attendance to do this. That's not going to work.
