All users in a breakout room session
are assigned the Moderator role, the
first student to join the breakout room
session will be assigned Presenter by
default. When entering a breakout session,
your microphone should be unmuted by default.
If you notice your microphone is muted, or if
students cannot hear you, click the microphone
icon under the presentation area to unmute
yourself.
If you are unable to hear students
inside inside in the breakout room, click Join
audio. You will be prompted to
complete
another echo test to re-join the audio.
If you wish to share your webcam in
the Breakout room session, click Share
webcam.
Note: to allow all students in breakout room session to see each other's webcams, you must unlock the See other viewers webcams in the main session. This function is only suitable for small tutorial groups.
Like the main room, once you click
on your name, you can set a status or take the
presenter role (if not already
assigned as
presenter).
You also have the option to clear all status icons and save the
user names when clicking the Manage users
wheel. The save
user names option can be useful, especially if
you have planned on re-using certain breakout
room groups in future BigBlueButton
sessions.
The Presenter in the breakout room
session has the same functionality of a
presenter in the main session. They can start
a poll, upload a presentation, share an
external video, share screen, and use the live
whiteboard.
Note: The last slide from the presentation that is displayed in the main BigBlueButton session will display in each breakout room.
