breakout rooms
12 TopicsBreakout Rooms multiple organizers or co-hosts
I would like to switch from using Zoom to Microsoft Teams but, unfortunately, the way it is currently set up makes it so that I can't. We often have large meetings with 10+ breakout rooms (sometimes up to 30) and hosts need to jump between rooms to ensure everything is going alright and everyone is staying on track. This can't happen in Teams, as it doesn't allow co-hosts at all, so only the meeting organizers can move between rooms. Is there any way to set other hosts to be able to co-host with you? Preferably people that do not have to belong to your organization, as often the co-hosts might not be on the same account as I am.Solved102KViews11likes20CommentsChat in Breakout Rooms Disabled
Hi, I'm admin for TEAMS in a school. We need to use the breakout rooms with our students. Within the breakout rooms the chat function is disabled for all students although in the main meeting chat is enabled for them, even when they have the presenter role (see image). For teachers the chat function is enabled. Where can I enable the chat for students? Thanks!Solved13KViews1like11CommentsSeveral breakout rooms questions
Is it possible to recall single users back into the main room once they're in their sub-room? I believe there are three user levels: Organiser, Presenter and Guest. Is it possible for there to be multiple Organisers? If a new meeting is set up in Outlook 365 for Windows (New Items > Teams Meeting) from a shared mailbox, who is classed as the Organiser? Can a Presenter or Guest choose a specific sub-room to assign themselves to? Can a Presenter or Guest move between sub-rooms themselves? Can you send, for example, a link or an image to all sub-rooms at once? Can you record breakout room sessions? (voice audio, the text chat etc.)Solved4.9KViews0likes2CommentsRe-use breakout rooms over multiple meetings
Hi, Would be great for Microsoft to add a feature to breakout rooms so that the same rooms can be used over multiple meetings as long as it is still within the same team (especially if it can pick up the same breakout room chat). It would also be awesome to be able to pre-create breakout room 'sets' with different room configurations. E.g. 'Writing Groups' with members assigned to breakout room group 1, 2, 3, etc. 'Reading Groups' with a different configuration of rooms. or 'Project X' groups and 'Cool use for business so that it hits Microsoft's radar' groups.3KViews0likes2CommentsBreakout Teams Question - Black Screen
Hello all! I host a lot of trainings but today faced an error that was new. I was able to move everyone to a breakout room but only group 1 could see and hear each other. The other rooms were unable to go off mute and saw a black screen. I went into the rooms, and they could hear me, but they could not hear/see each other. I closed and re-opened the rooms with no luck. Any thoughts? Thanks!2.9KViews1like2CommentsParticipant get stuck in breakout room lobby
Hi We have participants who get stuck in the lobby in breakout rooms, eventhough the main room meeting setting is set to allow everyone to skip the lobby. In the main meeting no get stuck in the lobby. When you check the meeting setting in the breakout room, only people from our organization can skip the lobby. The main room settings and the breakout room setting are not the same. Can you change the meeting setting default for meeting setting? We use Teams meetings only. No channel breakout rooms.2.4KViews0likes2CommentsTurn the audio on in breakout rooms
Hello everyone I've encountered the same problem while joining breakout rooms. My audio is always deactivated as well as my microphone. I managed to connect to the audio and activate my microphone but It's quite annoying as I constantly need to move from breakout rooms to monitor my learners. Is there a way to set up this in advance? Thank you2KViews0likes3CommentsBreakout room issues to assign user to a room
Anyone else seen issues to assign a user to a break out room? Screenshot in Swedish but the "i" say "This user can't access breakout room" At the time for testing that user was signed in to Teams with an external identity and used Edge browser. Ended meeting and rejoined and this time it worked but that is not the case all the time. Issue seems to be random. This happens quite often last couple of months, anyone seen this?1.5KViews3likes7CommentsTeams rooms - Thematic self selection
Hi, I will be leading a workshop with 30 to 60 participants on Teams. I'd like to designate thematic break out rooms for discussion and allow participants to self-select based on their expertise and interests which room to join. Is this possible? What is the best way to do this without spending a lot of admin time to ask for everyone's interest during the call, writing down their names and then designating them to rooms?Solved1KViews0likes1CommentMS Teams Attendance - Not counting time in breakouts
Hi, We use MS Teams regularly and we noticed there are issues in some of the downloaded attendance. 1. We use breakouts in our calls, and Teams Attendance did not capture all attendance. (Example - Room 1 n 5 and 6 were captured but Rooms 2,3,4 were not captured) 2. We also noticed that the time attendance of some people who were in the call for the entire duration, is coming out short. (Example - 1 hour instead of 1 hr and 30 mins) What can we do to manage this attendance issues? We are the main organizer of the call and we manage the breakout rooms. Thank you772Views0likes1Comment
