Breakout Rooms

It may be challenging to manage virtual office hours in Teams when anyone can drop in unannounced. You may consider enabling a waiting room on your virtual call so that students cannot enter the call without permission. Breakout rooms can be used so that students can drop into the main room and chat with one another while you have a private conversation with a student in a breakout room. Breakout rooms may also be useful if students wish to attend your office hours as a large group— simply send students to different rooms and jump between the rooms as needed to offer support.
