Set co-hosts for breakout rooms

For tomorrow’s class of 30 students I need two co‑hosts to run breakout rooms: assign Sara and Luis as co‑hosts, confirm they can move between rooms, give them permission to start and end breakout sessions and admit participants from the waiting room, and walk them through the flow five minutes before start.

Before assigning co‑hosts, make breakout room management less error‑prone: create a brief checklist that names who opens each room, what script they use for timing and prompts, where to post the resources, and the one condition that should trigger bringing everyone back to the main room.

As I tried to hand off breakout control, Sara reports she can’t see the breakout room controls while Luis can. I’m worried the session will run late and volunteers will be confused. I don’t know if Sara’s role wasn’t set correctly or if her app is outdated. What’s the fastest diagnostic and fix so the breakout session starts on time?

Across a semester, each class suffers at least one co‑host permission or control issue at the start, which delays activities and undermines student confidence. I can double‑train co‑hosts, but that’s costly. Which change to onboarding, role assignment, or a simple pre‑session ritual will eliminate most of these permission mistakes going forward?
