This research investigates the feasibility and challenges associated with implementing the jigsaw learning strategy using the breakout rooms feature in zoom meetings. The action research design was used. The sample consists of a total of 65 students in 3 classes of the Physical Education, Health and Recreation study program, Faculty of Sports and Health, Ganesha University of Education. Data were collected from the sample in the third semester for the 2020/2021 through observations, interviews, and questionnaires with Google form. The stages include pre-learning, introduction- the main zoom room, the original group I-breakout rooms from I, the expert group-breakout rooms, the original group II- breakout rooms from II and closing-the main zoom room. The 6 stages were further elaborated into 17 steps. Quantitative descriptive technique was used to analyze the data collected through questionnaires. The results showed that: 1) jigsaw learning strategy to conduct breakout room features in zoom meetings was feasible and easy to be applied in online learning, 2) jigsaw learning strategy can use as a reference for the implementation of meaningfull online learning. However, further research needs to statistically determine the effectiveness of the jigsaw learning strategy by using the breakout rooms feature in zoom meetings.
