You can set the length of time that breakout rooms will be open using the timer.  Before you start the breakout room, click on the timer icon.

Asking for Help while in a Breakout Room

When participants are in a breakout room, they can get the attention of the host by “Asking for help”.

To do this, they should click on the text “Ask for Help” at the top of the screen.

In the main room, the host will see that this participant has asked for help on the Breakout Rooms tab.  The host will also know how much time has elapsed since the participant has requested help.
