Hosts can use the default breakout room layout
or design a new layout to use specifically with breakout rooms.
Create a custom breakout room layout if you want to do preparatory
work before sending content and people to breakout rooms. This can
help meetings go faster and be better organized.
The layout
active when you click the Start Breakouts button is reproduced in
all breakout rooms. For example, if layout 1 is active and you begin
breakouts with three rooms, those 3 rooms use layout 1. If you change
the meeting or training session to layout 2 and add breakout room
4, then breakout room 4 uses layout 2.
There are cases where
you may want to have different layouts for different breakout rooms.
For example, different breakout rooms may contain different content
or attendee exercises. In this case, create separate layouts for
the breakout rooms and ensure that the desired layout is active
when you click Start Breakouts.
If you want different content
in each breakout room but do not require different layouts, prepare
the rooms before attendees join the meeting or training session. First
configure the number of breakout rooms required, and then click
Start Breakouts and move yourself from room to room, loading the
required content into each Share pod. Then, end the breakouts. When
attendees join and you click Start Breakouts again, the content
is ready. (If necessary, you can also alter the layout and content
of breakout rooms during a meeting.)
