If breakout rooms aren’t showing up or working in Zoom meetings launched from Moodle, follow these steps to reconnect your Zoom account and review key settings.
-
1. Sign out of Zoom completely
Log out of Zoom in both the desktop app and your browser.
-
2. Go to zoom.com and sign in
Open a browser, go to zoom.com, click Sign In, and log in with your college Zoom account (the same email used in Moodle).
-
3. Check your Zoom Profile
On your Profile page, confirm your account type is Licensed and your email matches your Moodle account.
-
4. Turn on Breakout Rooms
Go to Settings → In Meeting (Advanced) and switch Breakout room to ON. (Optional) Enable Allow host to assign participants… if you pre-assign rooms.
-
5. Open Zoom activity in Moodle
In your Moodle course, open the Zoom activity.
-
6. Start the meeting from Moodle
Launch your Zoom session directly from the Moodle Zoom link (not the standalone Zoom app), then test Breakout Rooms.
