2 New Features You Might Have Missed
🚪 Move Participants from Waiting Room ➡️ Breakout Rooms
Hosts and co-hosts now have superpowers when it comes to managing participants:
-
Skip the main session and drop students directly from the waiting room into a breakout room—perfect for office hours, advising, or interview panels.
-
Lock breakout rooms to keep students focused where they need to be (no more surprise visitors in the main session).
-
Works even if participants aren’t signed into Zoom—great for guest speakers, substitute teachers, or one-time attendees.
-
Ideal for structured environments like testing, private tutoring, or confidential discussions.
📌 Multi-Pin Freedom (Easier to Customize your Gallery View)
Students and faculty now have more control over who they see on screen:
-
Pin multiple participants without host permission—because everyone learns differently.
-
Great for ASL interpretation, group presentations, or following both a teacher and a TA.
-
Makes the Zoom classroom more flexible, personalized, and learner-friendly.
