Participating in a Breakout Room

As a participant in a Breakout Room, you have similar capabilities as you would in a regular
meeting. These include:

• Self-select your Breakout Room – You can now select which Breakout Room you
would like to join if the host has enabled this feature. This means meeting participants
can move freely between Breakout Rooms without the host having to assign them one.
Note: Both the meeting host and participants need to be on Zoom 5.3.0 or later to self-
select Breakout Rooms.

• Screen sharing – You can share your screen in a Breakout Room just as you would in
a regular meeting. However, the host must enable participants to share their screens in
Breakout Rooms.

• In-meeting chat – You can also use the chat function within your Breakout Room to
message other participants in the room or share links, content, and ideas.

• Asking the host for help – This feature is unique to Breakout Rooms and allows you
to contact the host to let them know you need help within your Breakout Room. The
host can respond immediately by joining the Breakout Room or send a message to
participants informing them they will help when they become available.
