Using Breakout Rooms in Teams allows you to sub-divide and organize large meetings or online classes into smaller groups.
Breakout Rooms can help to encourage active participation, foster focused discussions, and improve collaboration between participants. Instructors can assign students to work in pairs or small groups, to do role plays, debates, or dialogues using Breakout rooms. They can return to the main meeting again after the breakout activity has completed.
Many online meeting platforms provide a feature like Breakout Rooms (e.g. Teams, Zoom, BigBlueButton, etc.)
Recording Breakout Rooms
When Breakout rooms are created in a Teams channel, each room allows video recording. Each group can record within their own breakout room. When the breakout room session ends (or when the recording in the room gets turned off), the individual breakout room recordings will be stored in the Meeting Host's OneDrive "Recordings" folder.
