    Fantastic! There are so many UA-cam tutorials where the teacher starts with a lot of unnecessary chatter until he/she finally gets to the point. Scott dives right in and carefully illustrates how you do the basic items in breakout rooms. I highly recommend this tutorial.

    I've been teaching via ZOOM for three semesters. The Simpletivity instructions are the best for me of allI have tried. Slow paced, clear direction, easy to few cursor movements on screen and good examples. When I finish a topic I feel confident about using that aspect of ZOOM in my class. I honestly can't think of a question after viewing. I enjoy using ZOOM and students feel connected. Thanks for all lessons.

  • @brittanydurphey1983

    • @Simpletivity
      @Simpletivity  4 роки тому +6

      Great question, Brittany. No one is assigned as a host by default when placed in a breakout room. So participants do not have the ability to mute others or kick them out of the room. However, prior to sending people to a breakout room, you could make certain people a co-host which would give them this ability. However, they would also have other host capabilities like yourself.
