bellis1095 You don't actually have to create separate channels if you are trying to meet with each student individually once class starts. You can breakout by going to the chat tool - it should be the second icon on the main menu on the left side of the screen. You can start a new chat with the student you want to meet with individually and instantly start a video meeting. As long as they are online, they should immediately see the new meeting. You will go on hold in main meeting. Once you end the chat with the one student, you can return to the main meeting, then let the next student know they are going to get a notice (I assume their parents are with them).
Let me know if this makes sense. I've done this a few times to talk to students individually during class. Students can also start an individual chat with me during group projects.
