  • Joining a Breakout Room – At any time, you can join any breakout room by clicking the “Join” button  right next to the Breakout Room name.
  • When a Participant needs help – You will receive a notification if a participant in a breakout room sends an invite. A red dot will also appear right next to the breakout room icon and the specific breakout room name where the invite comes from. By clicking on the room with the red dot, you will have the option to “Join the Breakout Room” or “Reject invitation to join”.
  • In the Breakout Room – If you are in a Breakout Room, you will receive a notification when someone joins the main room. This will allow you to go back into the main room and move that person to a breakout room.
  • Leaving a Breakout Room – At any time, you can leave the Breakout Room by clicking the “Leave” Button .
