Making Your MS Teams Meetings Interactive with Breakout Rooms
Breakout rooms in Microsoft Teams enable you to create virtual rooms of smaller groups, such as putting people into pairs or groups of four, so it allows everybody to have a say. If you have a large number of participants, this makes it easier to have open discussions, brainstorm, exchange meaningful ideas and work collaboratively.
You can use chat and people can be moved to different rooms during meetings. If enabled participants can use the whiteboard and screen share within a given room.
In this blog, Happy’s trainers Sal and Ebe explain how to create break out rooms in MS Teams to make your meetings truly interactive.
