@@MrAdam-kp3en Doesn't it already have the "Live Event" option? If you go to schedule a meeting the dropdown should give you the option to create a live streaming event.
@@leebrooks7219 I don't think Teams has Live Broadcasting feature to do Facebook Live and UA-cam Live without needing to use third-party software. At least I don't know. But I know that Zoom has it.
It's so great that MS added this feature! It would be even better if you could set an automatic time period for the breakout rooms, though, rather than having to manually end the rooms.
Microsoft needs to give an organizer of a Teams Meeting the ability to make someone else the organizer. We have an admin who schedules meetings for all our classes. More and more this becomes an issue whenever a feature is only available to the organizer. A simple solution would be to make it possible to delegate the organizer role to someone else.
The organize must go to the meeting in their Teams calendar, click edit, expand the window, click Meeting Options, and a browser window opens that allows for co-organizers to join.
Thank you so much for the new information- My school asked us to do the breakout room and honesty by watching your video its easy to understand. Thank you again
Hi, this is really helpful, thank you. One question I can't seem to find the answer to is if the guys in the breakout rooms want to call you as the host in, can they? - like raise a hand "come join us". I'm asking as I'm looking for ways to use this in a school setting where I could send everyone into individual "breakouts" for their independent work but pupils can raise a hand to speak to me without the whole class having to hear our discussion. Kids ask so many questions it's hard for the ones doing their independent work to concentrate... thanks!
My question exactly. Easy enough with four people chatting about recipes, but I have a way greater number of people and then I have to waste time assigning during the meeting. Very disruptive.
Thank you Kelvin for always simplifying your tutorials. Is it only the Organizer/Host that can create a Breakout Room or Can a participant be delegated to create Breakout Rooms
This is wonderful Kevin! Loved the idea and your clear explanation. Just want to know if there is a way to keep the assigned rooms saved for other meeting as it will save the time from creating room every lessons for group tasks. Looking forward to hear from you. Thanks and appreciate your fab work on TEAMS.
Hi, thanks a lot for this demonstration very clear ! Is it possible to share files or documents in a breakoutroom or shoud we do this on the general canal of the meeting ? Thank you very much and sorry for my english as I am a French woman :) Regards
I did some reading.. Microsoft advises that you share documents in the General channel so that breakout attendees can download the documents to review during breakout session. Each attendee can share their own documents by uploading through the meeting, but it will be stores in OneDrive. Any shared documents and conversations are available from Teams chat history after the meeting.
Hi Kevin, thanks for this great helpful overview. If I set a breakout group for 10 minutes, is there a visible count down timer that’s available, as in Zoom? I’ve looked everywhere!
It does not seem like it. You would think this would be a launch feature... Who the hell wants to waste time setting this crap up when the meeting starts...
A useful option could be to change the meeting settings so that people go into a lobby before you admit them. You could then start the meeting beforehand, set up the rooms, then admit everyone and assign them to the rooms you have made.
I think Zoom is still superior in terms of breakout room features. Every other platform is trying to catch up. In saying so i cant live without the breakout room feature.
Excited for this feature, but I have 175 students working in 36 assigned teams simultaneously for a weekly class for 2 years. Wished they had allow for pre-assigning the breakout rooms from the Team membership prior to a scheduled meeting and copying the breakout room rosters from meeting to meeting. I achieve this by creating 36 preassigned channels instead, but this is more streamlined in the features and dropdowns. Any whispers of MS Teams working on this?
Very good. Comprehensive content at a great pace. I think it's time to expand the company, Kevin, and acquire The CCC (Competitor Cookie Company) to try out Teams federated services!
Thanks for the presentation. I tried to fill the Breakout Rooms in advance of a coming meeting. it didn’t work. Is filling the Breakout Rooms only possible when the Teams meeting is live? If so, it feels a bit ridiculoos. You cannot present and fill Rooms at the same time.
Please add a part 2 that explicitly explains manually adding members to each break out room. Question: can the breakout rooms have members assigned to each room prior to starting the meeting.
RE manually adding members - he demonstrated this in his video. RE pre-meeting setup ... no, you can only assign people to a breakout room if they are actually in the meeting.
@@davidadams421 Thanks, David. Am testing today with my students, its all makes sense now. Also, once the members are manually assigned, will it store the members in their assigned room until I deem it time to adjust members?
@@dgraise2784 Yes, well, I mean at least for the duration of the meeting. Note: for teachers/students, I believe Microsoft recommends using teams as courses and channels as student groups/streams, this allows you to, for example, store all the learning material at the teams level, then actually meet as a channel meeting, which in turn can then have breakout rooms as required. There are also special features available for education such as class notebooks, student assignments with submission deadlines, attendance/submission analytics etc. A recent college course I attended used all these feature to good effect.
@@davidadams421 Hi David. I began with channels this summer for my summer group and with my current students since school began. I find the channels to be cumbersome and the transitions from room to room are not swift (the other features are used outside of channels daily, no loss there). When the new break out room was only in meet now, I was using its link to create break out rooms with my general meeting by having my students follow the link; and I loved the swiftness of it all. I was anticipating with the complete roll out it would be a combination of channels and its innovative new features.. however , I tested it and found out that even if you manually create groups for class the groups dont remain (which i found interesting as the system can identified and gray out the students who are absent). Thus, when I make virtual groups with MS TEAMS, I am concluding for myself.... just use the auto select for break out groups for my students, when it fits an activity . And Channels for project check ins periodically , as this is not the the collobration piece I was thinking it would be. Again thanks David for taking the time to respond.
Thanks for this great video. I have one question though. Is it possible to access the same breakout rooms, once the sessions have started? I have four classes and tried to get back into the rooms I had created from the last lesson, but it said that I didn't have access or that I had been reassigned. How can I resolve this? Thanks in anticipation.
in regards to brainstorming and using breakout rooms, I wonder, could you walk me through feasibility on using the whiteboard. Let's say, i would like to already create a whiteboard with our previous brainstorm result look at it in our introduction meeting with everyone , I would like then have the breakout rooms groups then access to a copy of the initial whiteboard (already prepared ) and have every group vote on prioritization and I would like all of us after to go back to the general meeting and present the results of every group prioritization. I hope I make this clear enough I would appreciate guidance if i can achieve this . thanks.
So, I notice that after I use the breakout room, I have to recreate the groups again. I have a class of 32 students and it takes a while to assign everyone. Is there a way where I can just keep the students to their assigned room?
I haven’t tried this for myself, but it seems @ 7:00 Kevin demonstrates how to restart the breakout groups as previously constituted, without having to assign everyone again.
Breakout rooms seem to be designed as a live configuration, they cannot be planned in advance, you can only assign people to breakout rooms if they are actually in the meeting. If you have known groups of students, I believe Microsoft recommends creating channels for those groups, then you simply start a channel meeting. Within the channel meeting you can then further divide the group into breakout rooms once they have joined.
Hi Kevin, Found this video very helpful. Can you let me know if this is all relevant if you have not created a team and you are a trainer outside of an organisation. I have done a couple of practices, just setting up a meeting from my Teams account, but each time 1 out of the group didn't come back to the main meeting, but to the 'lobby' however, I was not able to see this and let them in even though I was host. Other people could see it and had to let them in. Any ideas? Thank you. Carolyn
Kevin, we use Teams and Zoom to conduct virtual training sessions and usually we co-facilitate. Is it possible for two people to manage the breakout rooms and have the same level of admin controls? For example, if we have four breakout rooms, one trainer may jump back and forth between A and B while the other monitors C and D. Can two facilitators share that role?

Ahhhhh! We’re TEAMS users but use ZOOM when we have need for breakouts. So excited about this! Thanks for posting!
Thank you for this. I've been using breakout rooms for a while to teach but I am really glad that you actually explained this new function.
It's so great that MS added this feature! It would be even better if you could set an automatic time period for the breakout rooms, though, rather than having to manually end the rooms.
Very thorough. Exactly what I needed, thank you!
Great video tutorial! Concise, easy-to-follow, and super informative! Thank you!
Thanks for this quick tutorial! Using this feature next week at work for a group discussion on leadership - Cheers!

@@mah3775yes, the feature is there now but wasn't there 2 years ago when the video and comment were posted
@@mah3775co-organizers cannot create the room, i tested many times.

Great comprehensive tutorial! I didn’t get these through Microsoft’s help site. Thanks Kevin!
If I am the organizer of a meeting, can I appoint some "teachers" who can visit the various break out rooms?
VERY VERY GOOD JOB! It's clear and non dispersive tutorial. Thanks
Is there any timer options for setting up those breakout rooms? like after 10 mins everyone automatically sent back to the main meeting
There is no timer, but you can add that idea to Microsoft user voice. At the moment you just click on Close Rooms when you want everyone back.
I wish the same! Zoom has the feature. Hopefully, Microsoft will get up to speed
I had a question about breakout rooms and found my answer in this video. Thank you Kevin!
Thx so much for the easy tutorial. Moderating a meeting and using this session for assistance ! Thank you!
Thank you very much, Kevin. this presentation was really helpful to me, a novice Microsoft Teams user.
Christmas came early when I saw an later upload in the day. Awesome tutorial Kevin! :)

Oh Kevin, you are such a good-news bringer!
Great, new functionality and another stunning video. Can't wait until this feature will be activated in our company.
Thank you Kevin. Circulated amongst Teams in both organisations already! Very heplful.
How do we share content created, like whiteboards, from Breakout rooms with the main room?
A big thumbs up 👍. I was waiting for this feature since long. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the video. One question: Can we create breakout rooms and assign people before the meeting starts?
My question exactly. Easy enough with four people chatting about recipes, but I have a way greater number of people and then I have to waste time assigning during the meeting. Very disruptive.

Very informative and stuctured.
Thanks so much Kevin. You explain so well. Love it
Thanks for the video! Can the meeting organiser give an attendee the power to create the breakout rooms?
Hello Kevin! just wanted to say that your videos are amazing is informative, formative and summative. Please keep up the good work.
Useful quick start guide. Thank you.
Thank you for your videos. They are awesome and I appreciate your style. I would love to see a video on Outlook Insight. Thank you .
If I create breakout rooms during a session being recorded, will the recording continue and will it record the breakout rooms that I join? Thank you.
Hi, I've used this feature and you need to go into each breakout room and start the recording again. Hope this helps.

love it thanks. Great they finally sorted out the breakout rooms. It was a pain trying to work around this previously.
Thanks for this quick instruction! I will try it with my class right away :)
Glad to see that Meetings is catching up to zoom.

Great info and easy to use. Thanks for putting together the video!
Thanks Kevin, it's very helpful
This is a neat feature - but I don't understand why they didn't just simplify moving people into rooms by allowing drag and drop.
because...microsoft :D
@@keyserlingii hahaha. just checked the replies for this exact same response before I posted it.
Because then you'd have to move one at a time. This was you can click multiple people and move them to another room at the same time
yeah if you have like 50 people to assign the drag and drop would take longer than clicking a box for them an assigning them at once
Thank you! Very useful!
Thank you! Great video!

waiting for this as well..... it takes a long time to assign participants to a breakout room in the middle of a class.
I just set mine up for a meeting, closed, rejoined and they are there....
You can open the meeting and set up the rooms ahead of time, but cannot allocate people until they have joined the main meeting
Can we assign pre-assigned breakout rooms before the meeting start? Just like on the Zoom app.
I think Zoom is still superior in terms of breakout room features. Every other platform is trying to catch up.
