Some important information to keep in mind:  

• All participants need to update Zoom and then restart their machine for self-select breakout rooms to work.
• Self-select breakout rooms require participants to use the desktop application or mobile app. It will not work in the browser version of Zoom. 
• This feature requires the zoom to be on version 5.3.0 or higher.
