Note: You won’t be able to automatically assign people to breakout rooms later in the meeting. Make your meetings more efficient by adjusting breakout room settings before they start.

Meeting organizers can plan ahead by creating and naming breakout rooms, sorting attendees into rooms, setting timers, and more. Go to Breakout rooms and select Settings. Assign participants to each breakout room if you didn’t do so automatically or need to reassign someone to another room. To assign people, you must be a meeting organizer or presenter who’s been appointed a breakout rooms manager. Use the main meeting as a breakout room for these people instead.

Repeat the previous steps until everyone in the meeting is assigned to a room. When you’re done, select Confirm. Select Assign participants. From this window, sort people to see who’s been assigned where by selecting the down arrow next to Name or Room. Select the down arrow next to Assign and choose a room for them.

If someone joins the meeting late, select Assign participants again to assign them to a room. If you’re the meeting organizer, you can delegate presenters to manage the meeting’s breakout rooms. Important: Only one person can manage a meeting’s breakout rooms at a time. Go to Breakout rooms and select Room settings.

Select Search for presenters and choose who you want to be breakout rooms managers. Select Room settings. If no one in the meeting is designated as a presenter, select Go to Meeting options to add presenters and choose who you want to be a room manager. You might be one of a few breakout rooms managers in your meeting.

Only one of you can control the rooms at a time, though. You can see who the current manager is for example, Daniela is in control. If you want, rename each room to reflect its purpose for example, what the people in that room will be working on. Hover over the room and select More options then Rename room. Tip: During the meeting, you can delete all the breakout rooms and set them up differently see Recreate breakout rooms from scratch.

When you set a time limit, a timer is visible in each breakout room so that participants are aware of when the session will end. When time is up, the rooms close and participants return to the main meeting. Note: If you turn off the Automatically move people to rooms setting see Turn off automatic entry to breakout rooms , participants will have the option of returning to the main meeting or leaving the meeting when time is up. Select Rooms settings.

Select Set a time limit and choose a session length. By default, meeting participants are moved to their assigned rooms as soon as you open them, but you can turn off this setting see Turn off automatic entry to breakout rooms.

To open a single room, hover over the room, select More options , and choose Open room. If you’re the meeting organizer or a breakout rooms manager , you can join any of the rooms. Hover over the room and select More options then Join room. As meeting organizer, you can send announcements to all the breakout rooms and contribute to any of the room chats. You may want to tell everyone the remaining breakout session time, offer discussion ideas, or just give general updates.

Select Make an announcement. Each breakout room has its own chat. All of the chats are available in your main Teams Chat list. Although setting up a series of breakout rooms may be time consuming in the initial stages, the rooms remain in place for subsequent meetings in the series.

The contents of any breakout room chat sessions also remain, but participants will need to be re-assigned to rooms during each subsequent meeting. Pause animated content. Skip to main content.
