Re: Zoom Breakout Rooms - mixing participants up in different rounds?

I agree with Mila - don't create a new room, just open the existing layout. ** Based in Washington D.C, supporting organizations globally! **

I've found that the Zoom breakout feature truly is random each time, so sometimes I have been with one or two of the same people for a few breakouts in a row, and other times, each group is brand new to me.?
If you want an all-new configuration each time, whoever is running the breakouts can see who's in which room before sending?them to their breakouts, and can make some quick switches (especially if someone else is keeping participants occupied for the few seconds this takes). The other, less elegant option is for the breakout room manager to quickly switch people once they're in breakouts (with an advance warning this might happen, so they're not completely startled). This can be pretty disruptive and off-putting, though, especially if time is tight.
A related question I have: How can we put people back in the same breakouts as before? I keep hoping there's an easy way to do this, without having to go through some of what I described above.
