Extending a zoom meeting to a sub meeting

Recommended Posts

I'll describe this as a quiz, it's actually for a training event but quiz describes the situation qite well.So a quiz is being run over a zoom meeting rather than filling a hall, and the usual table full of people participating as a team will all need to hear the presenter and discuss answers without it going to the main meeting, The main meeting will be on 'mute all' most of the time anyway. Later the teams will be presenting back to the main meeting.

 

This is to be repeated for about 20 teams, some with limited IT experience. So far the main idea is to simply point 2 PC's together. I don't see a simple solution, is there something I've missed in Zoom settings?

Have a look at breakout rooms. Not suitable for going back and forth endlessly due to the time it takes to go in and out, but if you can set a batch of questions then send to breakout rooms it can work well.

Am I right that being in a breakout room takes you away from the main meeting?

Might work with zoom webinars?I know that you can have panelists, and participants.

Think of an audience, and a table of panelists on stage. You can promote any participant to panellist, and remove them, there is a limit to panellist numbers afaikSo if it was more university challenge style than free for all, you could ask teams to answer questions in turn.Afaik you can use chat to talk to individuals or everyone.

He wants the participant teams to be able to talk to each other though within the teams. With Webinars the participants can't talk to each other (or at all I think).

It'd be really useful if zoom allowed the host to simulcast into every breakout room - it may well be on the feature requests.

That would be ideal as long as it's one way for all but one of each team.

I believe some have already looked at and discounted Webinars and probably for this reason.

 

Maybe transmit the main presentation on YouTube and the participants have a zoom call open at the same time for discussion?

My first reaction to this was it won't work as teams will need a way to speak back to the presenter and all of the other teams, however at least every member will be able to open YT to see the presenter [I believe no limits on numbers viewing YT] at the same time as as a zoom room with their team. A 'team leader' would then have a zoom meeting with the other team leaders and presenter. I'm starting to see many feedback paths though. If it's controllable it looks like a solution.

Maybe Use Zoom Webinar for the main broadcast, each team captain is a panelist so can ask questions and mute and unmute themselves everyone else just watches.

 

Everyone can still use Q&A for sorry I did not hear that etc.

 

Then each team uses Teams / WhatsApp to text chat each other, that way even if a captain forgets to mute the answers are only in text form?
