No – these settings are already on by default in a MEETING

  • Breakout rooms are on*
  • Cloud recording is on
  • Polling is on*
  • Screen sharing is on
  • Gallery view is on (if more than 3 people are attending). Students and the presenter can alter the view to Speaker view if preferred from the View Options menu. You can also choose to not display those attending with their camera switched off.
