Hi,

Make sure breakout room option is enable on your account. You can do that on the web portal. 

 

To enable the breakout room feature for your own use:

  1. Sign in to the Zoom web portal.
  2. In the navigation menu, click Settings.
  3. Click the Meeting tab.
  4. Under In Meeting (Advanced), click the Breakout room toggle to enable it.
  5. If a verification dialog appears, click Enable to verify the change.
    Note: If the option is grayed out, it has been locked at either the group or account level. You need to contact your Zoom admin.
  6. (Optional) Select the check boxes for the following breakout room options, then click Save:
    • Allow meeting hosts to pre-assign participants to breakout rooms
    • Allow hosts to broadcast message to participants. This allows the host to broadcast a message to all participants in breakout rooms. 
    • Allow hosts to create, rename, and delete breakout rooms when rooms are open.
      Note: This option must be enabled by Zoom before it is available and requires 5.9.3 or higher.

Make sure in your user settings that you have the option for Breakout Rooms turned on.  It's under In Meeting (Advanced).

 

Sometimes if you have your Zoom meeting window a little smaller in size, some of the buttons disappear in the meeting controls, there just isn't enough screen real estate.  In that case, click the More button, you'll find them in there.
