Would you like to split your participants into individual rooms in Zoom? That works with breakout rooms!

In Zoom meetings, breakout rooms can be used to divide a larger group into smaller rooms with fewer participants - e.g. to have group work done. Participants can be moved there automatically or manually, or they can choose which room they want to join. The host of the meeting can determine the number of participants per room. This function is available for all Zoom sessions - regardless of whether you are using a free version or a premium version.

2nd step:

A website will open in which you have to click on " Settings " on the left. Then scroll far down until you see the item " Breakout Room ". Activate the slider here. You can now use breakout rooms.
