How to Take Attendance in Microsoft Teams
In this step-by-step tutorial, learn how you can track attendance in Microsoft Teams.
Meeting organizers can view and download a meeting attendance report. Find this report in the Participants pane of the meeting, by clicking the download arrow as shown below. You can download the report as a .CSV file (text format).
For education tenants, this report is useful to track student attendance in online classes. For example, the teacher can download the attendance report at the start of class as a simple way to do a "roll call."
As an admin, you control whether meeting organizers can download meeting attendance reports by setting a Teams meeting policy. By default, the ability to download the report is turned off.
If meeting organizers need access to more meeting attendance data than they get from the report available within the meeting, you can assign the Report reader role so they can access the Teams admin reports themselves.

Mr. Stratvert: I used to hate Microsoft TEAMS after I saw your tutorials. You make it contents so simple that I just want to jump in and use the Platform. I`m still struggling with it, because I`m an art teacher, but I know if I`m still looking at your tutorials I`m going to enjoy it. Thank you for all the time you invest. I learned more from you than anybody`s tutorial. Again, THANK YOU, SO MUCH.

Kevin - I was really excited when this functionality became available ALTHOUGH I do believe MS Teams should allow the organizer to decide if another person can download the attendee list. For instances - from a business perspective - often people will delegate scheduling to somebody else but in no way could that person hop onto every single call; meeting; training; etc to download all the participant lists. At the very least if the organizer could have the permissions to get the list as well as anybody the organizer extends that permission to - i.e. the Host; Trainer; etc.

I agree - MS should not assume that ONLY teacher schedule classes. In my situation NO teachers schedule and with only ONE organizer allowed the scheduler has to download the report at class ends (which are across staggering times) and end the meeting. Only good thing currently is as long as the meeting has not been ended, that organizer has gone into meeting hours after class finish and been able to get the list.

Kevin- I am a teacher and our administrators scheduled our TEAMS meetings so someone else is the organizer. How can I still take attendance on MSTEAMS?
One key thing to remember is that this must (in most cases) be done at the END of the meeting. When you download the attendance, it details all of the coming and going up to that point. If someone new joins the meeting after the download, that name won't be in the already stored record.

I find the Attendance reports very messy as Teams meetings NEVER look like the examples used in tutorial videos. They're typically full of attendees coming and going throughout as their connections drop, they go on breaks, they go in to breakout Rooms or Teams fails to add them to breakout rooms, they leave and rejoin or attend using two devices at once! 😆 I struggle to find a total attendance time for each attendee. Zoom seemed much better.
Can you do that after the meeting is done?

Can you explain why when teachers start meetings sometimes some students can’t join because there’s no join button and the teachers get ad regardless?
There was a recent upload by a guy who actually pulled off showing pre-recorded videos through a virtual camera for an entire week, and nobody in the meeting figured it out. I hope tons of students try to do it, and it just shows them looking at the screen and nodding. That would be hilarious.
Thank you this helped me so much. I wasn’t understanding why I had to wait almost eight hours for my attendance repots to download after my Monday meetings. Good to know as the meeting organizer I can force a download. Great content

You can currently only download the attendance list while the meeting is ongoing. It's likely best to download at the very end so you have a full attendance record for the entire session. Once you leave the session, the attendance list is wiped. If you leave and rejoin, the attendance list starts again from when you rejoined. Hope that helps!

I have no evidence to support that. As a school we're having problems with this. Kids say they were there, but don't show up. We really don't feel like all of them are lying.

@kevin stratvert - How can we get attendance if we forgot to download the attendance? Note our students are currently added as guests.
I want to know exactly what kinds of things that happen on my end that are going to show up on the teacher's attendence list.. for example, today I turned on airplane mode mid lecture to block any incoming calls, but it also turned off my wifi (which i wasn't aware of) and I was on hold for a few seconds.. until it automatically got me back in the meeting. now is my teacher going to see on the attendence list that I left and rejoined? or does it not report this kind of infornation unless I press the 'leave' button myself? there are also other cases that I wonder about..
I have a Lenovo laptop and it has a kill switch (to disable camera physically)so if teacher forces me to open the camera I on the kill switch if they ask me to screen share I show them that the camera on option is not available it's a glitch ***Only for such moments when your teacher is angry***
