This feature requires hosts and participants to have client version 5.10.3 or higher for activity statuses to appear, and does not apply to participants joining on certain devices such as phone, H.323, and SIP. This allows hosts and co-hosts to quickly view participants' audio and video status, if they are sharing their screen, and any active reactions or nonverbal feedback.


Note: Before using breakout rooms, see the limitations of breakout rooms. Prerequisites for enabling breakout rooms on Zoom If your users do not have administrative control of their computers, this will require assistance from your IT Department to update the client. Note: Zoom Support can increase the maximum capacity of your account's breakout rooms, but this requires all participants to be on Zoom client version 5.2 or higher. The host can switch between sessions at any time. The meeting host can choose to split the participants of the meeting into these separate sessions automatically or manually, or they can allow participants to select and enter breakout sessions as they please.

Breakout rooms allow you to split your Zoom meeting in up to 50 separate sessions.
