Breakout rooms can’t currently be recorded to the cloud. When the host returns to the main room, recording will resume. If you’re recording a meeting to the cloud, the meeting recording is initiated only in the main room – if the host moves to a breakout room, the recording will pause. If you plan to record class sessions and use breakout rooms, a local recording may be the best option for you.

If a class session is being recorded, depending on how the session is recorded, Zoom will behave differently: For a local recording, the recording will follow the host to whatever breakout room(s) they visit. The meeting host can move between breakout rooms, to monitor activity and answer questions as needed.
