Break out rooms and host

[David29]

How does a host join a break out room?  We don't seem to be able to do so. Many thanks

Please see below notes from our KB article .

Managing breakout rooms in progress

Once the breakout rooms have been started, the assigned participants will be asked to join the Breakout Session. The host, or co-host that launched the breakouts and the original host, will stay in the main meeting until joining a session manually. If a participant has not joined the session yet, it will be noted by (not joined) next to their name. You can click these options in the breakout rooms window:

• Join: Join the breakout room.
• Leave: Leave the room and return to the main meeting (only shows when in a breakout room).
• Close All Rooms: Stops all rooms after a 60 second countdown, which is shown to the host, co-hosts, and participants, and returns all participants back to the main meeting.

Hover your pointer over the name of the breakout room and click the ellipsis button 

 to access more options for that particular breakout room:

Note: Adjusting Breakout Rooms while they are open must be enabled for your account by Zoom, enabled in your Breakout Room settings, and have all participants connected through version 5.9.3 or higher. 

• Add Participants: Add additional participants to an existing Breakout Room. Select the participants you want to add to this room and click Assign. 
• Rename: Rename the Breakout Room. Enter the new name of the room and click Rename. 
• Delete Room: Delete the already in-progress Breakout Room. 
  Note: The option to delete a breakout room is only available if the breakout rooms have not been opened, or, if already opened, the room has no participants currently in the room. 

Responding to requests for help

Participants in breakout rooms can request that the meeting host join their meeting by clicking Ask for Help 

You will be prompted to join the room where the request originated from. Click Join Breakout Room to join the room.
