Warning

If you are using the Meet app (instead of the website), please ensure it is up to date. Running an out-of-date app may interfere with your ability to join breakout rooms.

Join a breakout room

Your moderator will create breakout rooms and invite you to join one. Your moderator can join each breakout room at any time during the video call.

  1. Join the video call from your computer or the Meet mobile app.

  2. When your moderator invites you to join a breakout room, you'll see a prompt on your screen. Click Join. If you click cancel, you'll remain in the main room.

    2. Tip (lightbulb): If you dialed in through your phone, tap *2 to go to your breakout room, move between breakout rooms, or return to the main room.

  3. Once you're in a breakout room, you can speak to or send chat messages to other participants.

Tips for using breakout rooms

  • If your moderator moves you to another breakout room, you'll see a new prompt on your screen. To switch rooms, click Join.

  • If the moderator sets a timer, the time left in the breakout session is shown at the top of your screen.

  • When the moderator ends the breakout room session or the session ends, you have 30 seconds before your mic and camera turn off and you're automatically moved to the main room. You can turn your mic and camera back on when the moderator allows you.

  • If you need help during your breakout room session, you can ask for help by:

    • Computer: On the top of right of your screen, click Ask for help. If you don't need help anymore, click Cancel ask for help.

    • Mobile: On the bottom right, tap Menu  Ask Menu > Ask for help. If you don't need help anymore, tap Cancel ask for help.

    • Dial-in users currently can't ask for help. (sad)

Return to the main room

During a video call, you can choose to leave a breakout room and return to the video call's main room.
