[@sunpy7908]

Ah interesting, wasn't aware this feature existed. Definitely going to try it out once my break is over

[@saperis]

Yep, Google added breakout rooms only a couple of weeks ago. Have fun using it! 😀

Ma'am are you using Google meet change background option because i have got error with it is showing turn on hardware acceleration in your browser settings and hardware acceleration are onned and chrome is too ubdated please tell sollution for it if you have.

[@saperis]

I've never had this problem. But I found some information about this that might be helpful: www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/l09ihb/google_meet_not_using_hardware_acceleration/

[@easysolutionsforcomputer.4592]

Ok

[@easysolutionsforcomputer.4592]

Very helpful I will try it.

[@deirdreknox522]

is there anyway that the teacher can view all the breakout rooms simultaneously? This would be to ensure the younger students are working and are not using the time to have an adverse affect on other students

[@saperis]

As of February 2021 you can only be in one breakout room at a time. So no checking on multiple rooms simultaneously.

[@saperis]

Hi Fahad. I have a video that has helped many solve the problem you're having with Google Meet: th-cam.com/video/WcNxbcLtoyc/w-d-xo.html

[@easysolutionsforcomputer.4592]

Ma'am in activities icon I don't have breakout rooms option so what can i do ?

[@saperis]

It depends. Breakout rooms are only available to Google Workspace (business & education) version. If you are using your Gmail's Google account you won't have breakout rooms available.

[@easysolutionsforcomputer.4592]

Ok

[@maikelpina1125]

I dont have that breakout room option. What should I do?

[@saperis]

First off, breakout rooms are only available for paid Google Workspace account.
Second, you have to be the moderator of the call. The moderator is the person who sent out the Google Calendar invite for the Google Meet call. You can change ownership of such a call if someone else scheduled the call for you: support.google.com/calendar/answer/78739?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en#zippy=%2Ctransfer-an-event-to-a-calendar-you-dont-own

[@mr.spencer4474]

Is this break out room an extension? If so, what is the name of this extension

[@saperis]

No, this is a part of Google Workspace. It's available from Google Workspace Business Standard plan onwards: workspace.google.com/pricing.html
