Breakout Rooms:
As moderators in video sessions, mentors can create breakout rooms during the sessions. They can create as many breakout rooms as needed and send users to separate rooms. The mentor also has the option to join & delete the rooms, as well as remove an individual from a room.
Here’s how:
A user needs to raise their hand by clicking on the hand icon. The moderator can raise their own hand as well.
Click on the yellow hand icon at the top of the video session
A tab on the right-hand side of the session will appear with all the participants. Click on Add breakout room to add rooms as needed.
Once the moderator has created the breakout rooms, they can hover over the participant's name and click on the three dots beside their name to send the user to the desired breakout room. The moderator can also search by the participant's name in the Search Participants box.
To send the participants back to the main room, hover next to the user's name and click on the three dots beside their name, then click on "Send participants to".
To delete a breakout room:
Hover next to the breakout room you would like to remove. Three dots will appear next to it and click on remove.
Good to know: The mentor is set as a moderator by default but can give moderator rights as well.
Good to know: A moderator can also join a breakout room by hovering over the breakout room they wish to join and can click on Join.
Troubleshooting tips:
Allow access to your microphone/camera by accessing your permission settings of your browser.
Close down any other program, app and/or browser that might be using your camera or microphone.
If you are using a private work laptop, your company may have restricted your permission settings: it is best to join your video session via a personal laptop.
After your video session:
Once you end the call at the end of your video session, you will be prompted to leave a rating and review for either your mentor or mentee, and the platform. These ratings and reviews are only visible to your Program Manager and Mentorly's support team.
