- Breakout Rooms have finally arrived! No Need for extensions or multiple schedule meetings. Everything is in one place and your students can easily join the breakout room or rejoin the main room.
You as a teacher can hop around and make sure everyone understands the activities and is on task.
Important: Breakout rooms is available to users with a G Suite Enterprise for Education license and permissions to create meetings.

I like your videos, very clear and simplified....bravo!
Tried it and honestly hated it. You can't be in multiple rooms at once. My elementary students went bonkers and could not handle being unsupervised for even a moment. I'm still going to use the Breakout Extension. I appreciate you putting this together Sethi; it's not your fault Google dropped the ball on this.
Which extension do you use and I assume it allows you to be in all the rooms at once? Seems like Google needs to hire teachers to design these things.
@@kimcremer9910 it's the purple b, Breakout Rooms by Robert Hudek. You can be in all rooms at once. You can speak into all rooms at once or rotate one at a time. I would rather just make multiple meetings and do it that way than use the current embedded one.
Another clear and precise video. Thank you for all your helpful videos.
Thanks for the tutorial. Tried it this week and it was fantastic! The 6th graders were so engaged and keep asking to do more breakouts. One thing to note, student who lose connection can not rejoin the main meet unless the teacher (anyone?) is there. Luckily we were sharing docs so they managed to communicate with me.
Great feedback there! Hope they sort this out soon.
Nice video! Straight and clear! Thank you so much for this beautiful video!
Also, It would be great to have a signal similar to the virtual hand to inform the teacher when the student is done working on an assignment. The chat is a great feature, but if the students are little ones, they don't understand how to use it , and it would be easier for them to have a tool that they can click and unclick. Thank you.
Thank you very much. This was very helpful. I appreciate your brevity and your attention to detail as well as quality material provided for teachers.
Thank you appreciate the kind words.
The update is here finally! A great tutorial 👍
Very clearly explained. Thank you!
One more thing, while scheduling in the Google Calendar itself, you can start putting your guys in the Breakout Rooms but then you have to have all their email ids through which they are joining and add them all as guests...Good!!
THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
Can you set these up ahead of time or do they need to be done during the meet?
This one is A Huge help...
Thanks
Thanks for your video!
I have not used Breakout Rooms before. Your tutorial was great. A question I have is, when the teacher clicks on "End Breakout Rooms", does he/she have the option to give the students a certain amount of "warning time" to let them know how much time they have left to finish their breakout room conversation before they will be sent back to the full classroom? Or does clicking "End Breakout Rooms" send them straight back to the full classroom? Thanks
I found this information very helpful! Thanks a lot
Thanks so much. This helps a lot man...
Hii!! Now I have started with a free trial and then I am going to pay...So how did you get the wonderful colorful homescreen?
Thanks! Cool for the lessons! I will for sure use it!
Great!
Thank you. I will try it.
this tutorial was precise and clear thank you easily understood
Thank you so much for sharing this....Can you please suggest some mind mapping tools/websites (free)
thank you for sharing
Hi - I followed your great tutorial on CASTING to a Google Meet for better video quality, but when I am in a Breakout Room, it casts to the main classroom. Is there a workaround for this?
Useful as always
Thank you, is there a way how to organize translation of the speaker unto two languages via different channels? Thank you!
Thank you for the video , i just have a little problem i don't have that option in my meet where it shows breakout rooms, and if can you please tell me how to download it ? is it for free ? because i tried google extensions and it gives me a total different option for breakout rooms. Please i kindly need help here.
I am able to set up the breakout rooms. My students can hear me in the main room and they can hear me when I join each of their breakout rooms separately, but I can not hear them, and the "broadcast to all breakout rooms and slider doesn't seem to make a difference. If I want to speak to all of them, I need to use my main room. I have toggled through everything I can think of. I finally turned on captions in each room. Yesterday, I was able to hear my groups, but not today. Could this be my dinosaur classroom computer? I also do keep losing connection. Ideas to try?
This new feature is terrific! However, elementary students need to be monitored while in the breakout rooms. It would be great if the teacher can at least see all the students in the other rooms, and have different windows opened during the meeting. It would be even better if the teacher could hear the students in all the rooms. Sometimes, a teacher needs to listen to only one student during small groups or reading assessments. The breakout rooms are definitely helpful for those instances, but she has to still be available for the other little ones if needed.
hi, i want to ask, i dont have button for breakout room. do i need to click anything on setting to enable the button to show up?
Thank you for this amazing tutorial. Hope you can also make tutorials on MS Teams Breakout room.😊😁
Brilliant tut! TY
I have a cotaught classroom that I created. I added the other teacher as a "teacher" so that she can assist teachers while I am instructing. Is there a way for her to create breakout rooms on her own. I thought that she could do that since she was added as a teacher. When we originally created the room she could. Now, for some reason, she cannot. I removed her and added her again, but it still only allows me to create breakouts.
thank you! does this work with 2 people
Awesome tutorial! do you have to be the owner of the link?
I'm an educator and my school district still hasn't gotten access to this. This would help me a lot too!
We don't have enterprise and still added.
same
Thank you!
Thank you! What about audio? I assume that audio in the breakout rooms is heard only in those rooms? And what about if a teacher wants to present / share their screen. Will that appear in all the breakout rooms? Can a teacher give an audio announcement to all the BO rooms? Thank you for you taking the time to answer!
Audio is exclusive to each breakout room. I don't think there is a feature for you to give an announcement to all the rooms - you would have to pop in to each one. Shared screens and texting are also exclusive to each breakout room. You can have a student in each room present their screen, but no presenting to breakouts from the main meet. I have kids open whatever link they need to work on - google classroom assignment, website, timer screen, whatever, before I open the breakouts. If they are working on a common document, one student can share their screen and type for the group.
Do teachers have access to the chat in the breakout rooms?
Are students able to hear the students that are in the main room while in the breakout room?
Can the Teacher record each session in the breakout rooms?
Its great and realy essential for teaching. But it is not available in the standard edition of Gsuit for Education ))-; Can we all click the feedback ?-button in Gsuit Meet and BEG (!) Google to let it into the standard version?
I have created the rooms but when I go to one of the rooms I am unable to hear even when the main room mute is open. Some other tab automatically becomes the main tab and I hear all meets at the same time. HELP
Can i know, if i use phone for google meet, can i do the breakout rooms
thank you
You're welcome
Thank you, this was extremely helpful. I have one question. Do students have to be present before they can be placed in BO rooms? I would like to do this before my students arrive in class.
Following this as I have a similar question
Yes, I am a kid trying to help my teacher.
The activities button isn't there for us. How do you enable it?
Same Here
It depends on a couple of factors. #1, Google slowly pushes these updates out to their subscribers. It may take time before all members of your school's domain has access to it. #2, this feature is only available to Enterprise subscribers. Your school has to pay for the Enterprise set of Google Products, not just Google Suite for Education (which is more basic).
I think we have to have a G suite account
btw i have one
@@lynneduffy8440 Google is being stupid locking that out to enterprise only.
@@StebanHern Well, google needs consumers to have a reason to pay for Enterprise, they are a For-profit organization so they will do this type of stuff for money.
Can you share your screen for every breakout room? Example.... Students are to be discussing data. Can you share the data to each breakout room screen?
Hye, thank you for your awesome sharing😃 I'm an educator too. May I know what is the extension that you use for this? If can, could you share us the link?
No extension here. it is part of Google Workspace for Education Plus. Part of the native functionality. Plus is a premium version of Google Workspace for Schools.
So breakout rooms are not possible if u havent purchased g suite ?
good to see
Is this available for Google Education license?
Hi - if I preassign 233 students to 10 breakout rooms and some students don't log on, will the breakout rooms still work for those that do? Thank you
Can you set how long the breakout rooms last, like you can in Zoom? In other words, not allowing students to return to the main room whenever they are ready, but to give them, e.g. 5 minutes, after which the breakout room disintegrates and everyone automatically returns to the main room.
yes you can
simply, thanks
You're welcome
I can't see the 'Activites' button in the top right corner, but I do have a G suite gmail and permission to create meetings
Same with my teacher, she can't seem to get it to work.
Can you save the groups so that the same student are in the same group the next day? Or do you have to create them every time?
I have not found a way to save groups yet but its a great suggestion. Make sure you submit it in the feedback section on meet.
Breakout rooms instructions begin at around 2:10. You're welcome.
Do students only see each other? Can I show questions to work on so that they can refer to them and discuss?
You can create polls and q and a.
I really want to know the Screen Recorder he used in this video!!
I use OBS Studio but it is not the best quality. His screen recording is so clear and smooth.
If anyone knows, what Screen recorder he used.. Please tell me!
Hiya. I use camtasia(link in the description) its amazing when it comes to screenrecording and annotating your screen)
@@FlippedClassroomTutorials Oh my god!! Thank You so Much. I NEVER EXPECTED YOU WOULD REPLY AND SO QUICKLY. THAKN YOU ONCE AGAIN:)
I currently have one student who can't join breakout rooms. Can you help me fix this?
As a teacher, how can I view all my breakout rooms at once? After I assign group work, I want to be able to monitor the students to see that they stay in their assigned room. Also, can I listen to the rooms without joining them?
Thank you.
I was homeschooled virtually some 3 years ago, and my school used Blackboard Collaborate to meet. My teacher would just hop into our rooms to check on us usually. You could probably do that.
My breakrooms option does not even appear.
and the teacher in the other room does work.
Some days I'm the host of my Meet-some, I am not and the features do not work-Why?
I am trying to use this Breakout Room function, but when I am in the Meet with all of my students, there is no "3 Dot" option on the top of the meet window. Any idea why?
Same
You got to pay for it. Ask your School Admin.
Correct the breakout rooms are part of the enterprise features as mentioned in the video. These do not come with the free version. Google has announced a range of changed to the way they do things. (Check my video on this topic) and are rebounding g suite to workspace with a free tier and premium tiers. Breakout sadly is part of a premium tier.
Is there a way to view/monitor all breakout rooms at once as a teacher instead of joining and leaving each room?
At ths moment that is not possible. I join the same meeting multiple times using my account in separate windows, and join each room to monitor. Its not ideal but a workaround at the moment.
Is this possible in a mobile phone?
can you turn off the chat for each breakout rooms?
Great!
Thank you
Hi I am not getting the Breakout room icon next to the chat control settings. Please help
Have reached out to your admin. Make sure yoy are currently using the enterprise plan in workspace to have access to this. In the future this will become the teaching and learning upgrade for Google workapace for education. See my latest video.
I'm a bit confused...Do I create those accounts before I join the main room? How did you get them altogether into one?
You would have everyone in a single room before creating the breakout rooms. Then once you end the breakout rooms everyone comes back.
Heeeelp!!! I don't have the ''Activities"" option...
You probably need the ENTERPRISE edition of Google G-Suite. I don't see the Activities option on my G-Suite.
@@jelfrank286 how do you get the enterprise edition?
I can connect you with a reseller if your school is looking for an upgrade. Have a look at my latest video for a breakdown of the changes.
@@shraddhaverenkar2857 don't know. talk to your district tech office. in the meantime t's EASY to setup breakout rooms and you can open them in separate windows so you can see everyone at once! see my youtube on that: th-cam.com/video/CWnFpU3y5dk/w-d-xo.html
Hello! I don't have the option of brakeout rooms in my activities. What do I have to do to get it?
Hi, Breakout rooms are now part of Workspace for education Plus and Teaching and learning upgrade. You'll have to contact your admin to purchase access. It was free when first released as the pandemic was happening but now bundled.
Can I ask something? You write: Important: Breakout rooms is available to users with a G Suite Enterprise for Education license and permissions to create meetings. Now, how can I get the permission or how do I tell my operator to change the setting? Hartelik bedank Mijnheer.
Can we teach 2 classes together, each class capacity 60 students. Now Google meet capacity only 100. Our students 120
When in the break out room - can they hear any conversations taking place in the main meeting room?
No
i just got that today
Can it work for G-Suite for education?
If you have enterprise, yes. Sadly, the basic one doesn't have this feature.
This is great, thanks. But Google needs to allow students to join a breakout room manually, like you can on Zoom. Choosing students one by one is a slow and arduous process, and doing it ahead of time isn't always an option because I create groups during class itself. So teachers should be able to make rooms, open them, then tell students "Ok, go to your room now." This is a deal breaker--I want to use Meet but have to use Zoom because Meet lacks this function.
That's is indeed a great suggestion. Make sure to use the feedback within Meet to share this with the team at Google.
Actual info starts at 2:30
Hello...I am not able to see the option of Activities o in google meet on right side top corner? i have educational g suit offered by my college. can any one help??
This will only be available to the upgraded tiers of workspace. More information here: sethideclercq.com/2021/02/gsuitechanges/ Hope this helps. (The blog post has both the written info and a video on it, feel free to share with your school admin so you can get access)
Good day sir, may I ask why the Breakout Rooms option is unavailable in my account?
Breakout rooms are only available in school domains with edu plus upgrade. These are premium features.
Ok, I'm seeing a possible drawback: I can't prep the rooms ahead of time it seems. The kids' names do not appear unless they are currently in the meeting. And then I have to quickly put them in the rooms I want them in? What am I missing?
Correct. Make sure you submit feedback using the ? icon in Meet as Google is continuing to develop these. The more people send requests the faster they will action it.
I couldn't find the icon breakout room in my google meet. Could you please tell me how to find it?
Add as an extension
This feature is just for some one versions of google meet. Is better Zoom for that
My system showed error joining the breakout room
What could be the reason!?
I cant find the additional key that gives the obtion of break rooms
You might not have it yet.
@@KTsMWC how do you get it
@@skylarfowler590 depends on district roll out I think.
Can 1 group will divided into 12 student?
Is it only available in the US?
Not at all. It is part of Google Workspace for Education Plus.
@@FlippedClassroomTutorials ok, so it won't be available for individual/personal Google Accounts right?
I once watched it 3 years ago but since then it pops up when ever i start youtube. Is that some hack to get more views???
Not at all. No idea why that would be. TH-cam tends to show what it thinks you want to watch based on location , viewer history etc..
can you use it for chromebooks?
Yes. It's for Google Meets. If you have the ability you can use it on any device as far as I know of.
Can you present in a breakout room?
Hii,
Some of my school teachers can't be assigned to the breakout room. if they are same domain and using school account only. I need your support. It was of great help to me.
Delhi Public School Nashik
Kamlesh Vispute
IT Administrator.
This could be due to the license assigned to that individual teacher. Are they assigned a license in the admin console?
when i click on activates it only shows white board
You have to have Google Suite enterprise... We do not have it at our school :(
Sorry to hear that. Just sharing whats available. I understand many school haven't got access to enterprise. However the good thing is that Google is using the revenue from enterprise to invest back into the offerings both free and enterprise, which will eventually benefit all of us.
After open breakout room how do I close them
You will have an option at the top of the breakout menu to close the rooms.
What does this 🔺️🟥🔴 icon mean?
This is the activities menu. You can find the whiteboard in here, and if enabled recording. For Workspace plus accounts you will also find breakout rooms, polls and q&a in this menu.
Hello sr ...plz tell me ...is Google meet free ? Till now
Yes google meet is completely free. They have added extra features to the enterprise version
not working yet... ??
Thanks a lot for such needful information. I have a query regarding participants strength. I have a Institutional G Suits account but inky 100 participants will be able to join meeting and my class strength is 150+. So I can add more than 150+ participants in Google meet. Plz helped me to resolve this issue.
One more request is how to avoid Join/allow option, it's very difficult for me to allow each participant one by one by clicking on Join bcoz of huge number of students.
Waiting for your reply
Hi you can use auto admit google chrome extension
@@EDTECHPINAY thanks a lot, it's really a great help for me. It's working and time saving. Thanks a ton. Could you please tell me how to add 100 + participants in Google meet. My BA part 1 class strength in more than 100
However be aware of the hackers. Stay safe
I think you need gsuite/gworkspace to have 300 partcipants
@@EDTECHPINAYthank you
I can not put breakoutrooms on my screen
