Update
[October 12, 2020]: This rollout for this feature is now complete.
-
[September 29, 2020]: The rollout for this feature is currently paused while we evaluate performance. We apologize for the delay — we’ll provide an update here when rollout resumes.
What’s changing
Organizers of G Suite Enterprise for Education meetings will now receive an attendance report via email once the meeting is over. Attendance reports will be generated for web or mobile meetings with at least five (and no more than 250) participants and will contain the following information for each:
- Participant’s name
- Participant’s email
- Length of time a participant was on the call, including when they joined and exited
Once a meeting is finished, you’ll receive an attendance report via email.
The attendance report contains the names, email addresses, and duration of time participants were in the meeting.
Students who have the ability to create meetings will receive attendance reports as well.

Why you’d use it
We hope attendance reports will help meeting organizers keep track of who attended their meetings and for how long, which can be challenging during larger meetings or while presenting.
Additional details
Recording attendance for ejected or dial-in participants
We’ll record the attendance of any participants who chose to dial in. The obfuscated phone number and name displayed during the meeting will appear in the attendance report.
If a meeting participant is ejected and re-admitted to the meeting, you’ll see the time they first joined and the time they last left. The total duration of their attendance will be a sum of their sessions.
