Unassigned Participants/Students
Participants/Students must be signed into Zoom for them to be pre-assigned.
Unassigned participants can happen if a participant was omitted during the pre-assignment breakout room setup or if a participant leaves (i.e. internet down) and then comes back into the meeting.
If there are asassigned students Zoom will alert you.
Click on [More]

Click [Join] next to the Breakout room and enter the unassigned participant's name.
