If you’d like, you can instead use CUSTOM ASSIGNMENT to manually assign participants to groups. If have less than 4 participants in your session this is probably your best option.
From the Breakout Groups menu, under the Assign Groups list, select CUSTOM ASSIGNMENT from the Assign Groups list.
Two groups will be generated by default. You can rename these groups by clicking the Group Name and entering a new one. Use the + button around the default groups to add new groups.
To move assign participants to a group, either click and drag a name and drag the student's name box from the MAIN ROOM to the appropriate group...
... or you can click the MORE button ("...") beside their name and choose the group you wish to add them to.
Check the "Allow attendees to switch groups" box if you would like to give participants the ability to move between groups.
When you are ready for students to begin their group activity, click the START button at the bottom of the Breakout Groups pane to send the students to their groups. It may take as much as 20 or 30 seconds to get everyone transitioned to their groups.
If you are recording in the main room, that recording will stop if move to a breakout room.
