Quick Tips
  • The attendance list can be downloaded from the Participants section.

Step 5: Go to your Downloads folder in File Explorer and look for the file name meeting AttendanceList.

Step 6: Double-click on it to open the file. Usually, the file should contain the names of the attendees, their join times, and then the leave time of each attendee. Should an attendee join the meeting before the organizer, their join time should tally with the organizer’s join time.

Method 2. Download Microsoft Teams Attendance After the Meeting

Most people prefer to attend after the meeting for several reasons. The first is that doing it during the meeting can be pretty distracting. So you can wait until the meeting is over to gather the list.

Another reason is that you want to know who stayed until the end of the meeting. Remember that getting the meeting attendance report during the meeting only captures information until you download the report. That said, there are two ways to get your meeting attendance on Microsoft Teams after a meeting.

You can also download the meeting attendance from the Attendance tab, which is beside the Meeting details. If the meeting is recurring, select the report you need to view and download.

Download Meeting Attendance Using the Meeting Chat

After a meeting ends, the meeting attendance is made available in the meeting chat. You could use this method if the channel were used to create a meeting. To download your meeting attendance, take these steps:

Step 1: Launch Microsoft Teams and click on the Chat icon.

Step 2: Scroll through your chats for the meeting chat, or if the meeting was created from a channel, click on Posts.

Step 3: You should see a tile labeled Attendance Report in the chat area. Click on the downward-pointing arrow beside this report to download your meeting attendance.
