Teams Meetings: Take attendance of participants


Introduction

Teams has made it easier to track meeting attendance with the release of downloadable attendance lists. This means that Teams meeting organizers can download a spreadsheet at any point during the meeting that lists the meeting participants. The attendance list can only be downloaded by the meeting organizer while the meeting is in session.
