Lecture is a common practice in face-to-face and virtual learning. On a virtual platform, options are limited for gesturing, physical space/body language, writing surfaces, and “reading the room,” and includes extra non-classroom distractions for viewers.
How do I pre-assign breakout rooms?

How do I quietly enter Breakout Rooms without disturbing the discussion?
There is no way to enter a breakout room undetected. If you disable video and mute your audio before entering, you will cause less disturbance.
