One channel meeting is the same as a meeting room, so we’ll start with a common room – that needs to be scheduled in the general channel. Then it’s time to create all the different meeting rooms. Since everyone in the workshop can jump into any channel, I decided to post all names of the group members to make it easier for the usersĤ. When we have all the channels it’s time to fill them with content, I added a friendly welcome message. I removed all options besides deleting and editing postsģ. I didn’t find changing the general team settings necessary, but you can do it to remove the possibility of doing anything besides what is needed for the workshop. I made all the channels standard channels, no need to have private channels *transparency*Ģ. For my particular case we ended with 5 breakout rooms and the general channel as the main room. I sent one calendar invite in which I copied the meeting link to the general main room.Īnd time for prepping, first some “technical” preparations:ġ. We don’t want annoyed people getting 1 million calendar invites even before the workshop started. The next step is very important and that is to NOT invite the participants to the team before you’ve done all the preparations. Let’s start with the prerequisites, and it’s pretty simple - you need a private team in Microsoft Teams. Jumping back and forth between the “main room” and breakout rooms between exercises. With inspiration from Vesku’s blog post I decided to try this at my new client, follow along the rest of this post where I show you how I did it!Ī virtual workshop with 27 participants, in an organization new to Microsoft Teams (besides using meetings and chat for a couple of weeks). Microsoft recently announced that breakout rooms are actually on it’s way, sometime during this fall it will be available – here you can read more.īut I needed the feature now and not later, wherefore I searched for the clever ideas from the Microsoft Teams community. One of those entries that I’d like to talk about today is breakout rooms – you know the possibility to have a group of people in a meeting, then automagically move them to separate “rooms” and when you’re finished automagically get all the participants back to the original meeting. Something that also became very clear in the Microsoft Teams UserVoice were entries that were pretty unknown before rapidly rose in number of votes. I’m pretty sure no one missed the rapid increase in remote working during the first half of 2020.
