Zoom BreakOut Rooms

To Enable the Breakout rooms:

1. Sign in to the Zoom at https://salisbury.zoom.us/
2. In the navigation menu, click Settings.
3. Navigate to the Breakout Room option on the Meeting tab and verify that the setting is enabled.
   If the setting is disabled, click the toggle to enable it. If a verification dialog displays, choose Turn On to verify the change.
   
   (Optional) Click the checkbox to Allow meeting hosts to pre-assign participants to breakout rooms.
4. We highly recommend turning on the "Only authenticated users can join meetings" option to force students to login to access the meeting. This will help ensure they are assigned to BreakOut Rooms correctly.  Please direct your participants to login with their SU credentials to avoid issues.
