Morphology
The meaning 'a room for lectures' is directly and compositionally derived from combining 'lecture' (a teaching talk) with 'room' (a space), so a B1 learner who knows both words will understand it refers to a space used for lectures. Although the given definition specifies a digital/virtual room, the core idea of a space for lectures is predictable and cross-linguistically common.
Etymology
Lecture room comes from the old idea of a lecture as a teacher's reading or talk and room as a place to meet. Picture a teacher standing at the front reading or talking while students sit and listen; that's why it means 'a room where lectures are given'.
