Note: If your course is integrated with Canvas or D2L Brightspace, you do not add Teaching Assistants in Breakout Learning. Instead, assign them Teaching Assistant permissions in your LMS course. They will automatically receive the appropriate Teaching Assistant access in Breakout Learning.
If your institution does not use an LMS integration, follow these steps:
1. Open the Assistants page
- Sign in to your Breakout Learning Instructor account.
- Select Assistants from the left navigation menu.
- Click Add New Assistant.

2. Choose an access level
Select the level of access you want to grant:
- All Classes – Gives the TA access to every class in your account.
- Limited Classes – Restricts the TA to specific classes that you select.

3. Create and share the invitation
- Click Create Assistant Invitation.
- Copy the invitation link from the confirmation screen.
- Send the link to your TA.
- The TA can use the invitation to join your classes with the permissions you assigned.
Note: Teaching Assistants can also be Participants in other courses. TA access only applies to the classes where they have been assigned Teaching Assistant permissions and does not prevent them from participating as a Participant in other Breakout Learning courses.
