Breakout Room Collaboration refers to the process of dividing meeting participants into smaller groups, or breakout rooms, to foster focused discussions and collaborative work. This strategy is commonly used in virtual and in-person meetings to encourage more in-depth conversations and engagement among attendees.
During breakout room collaboration, participants are assigned to specific groups, and each group is given a particular task, discussion topic, or project to work on. These smaller settings provide a conducive environment for brainstorming, problem-solving, and idea generation.
Meeting organizers often use collaboration tools within breakout rooms, such as screen sharing, chat, and document sharing, to facilitate productive interactions among participants. After the breakout sessions, groups may report their findings or conclusions back to the larger meeting, promoting a well-rounded exchange of ideas.
