Note three conditions

Participants are usually divided into breakout rooms during a Zoom session. You can pre-assign participants to breakout rooms if desired, but keep in mind that participants must meet all three conditions in order for everyone to end up in the breakout rooms:

1) All participants have Jyväskylä University user accounts.

2) They have previously logged in to the Zoom service (https://jyufi.zoom.us), and they have an account.

3) They remember to log in with their JYU credentials every time before joining a Zoom meeting (https://jyufi.zoom.us).

 

NOTE: Pre-assignment does NOT work if a user has a JYU account and has been pre-assigned to a small group, but logs in as a “guest.” In that case, Zoom interprets them as a different user and does not direct them to any breakout room.

 

Division into breakout rooms

1. Under Meeting Options, select Breakout Room pre -assign and click on the Create rooms button.

2. Click the plus button:

3. Write the names one by one in the search field.

4. Finally, save.
