Why can’t I access some options during my Zoom meeting?

If you aren’t seeing some options when you join one of your own Zoom meetings, like breakout rooms, screen sharing, polling, and recording, it means you’ve logged into the meeting as a participant instead of as a host. There are a few reasons why this might have happened, and more than one of them may apply to you. Review them all to learn how to resolve this issue.

Does Zoom record breakout rooms?

No—Zoom currently doesn’t record breakout rooms. If you opt to record a meeting to your computer, it’ll record breakout rooms as you visit them; if you opt to record to the cloud, it won’t record them at all. With cloud recording, Zoom will automatically pause recording when you send students into breakout rooms, then automatically resume when you close them.
