After the meeting
The meeting Organizer can find the attendance report in a few different places: in the meeting invite, and in the meeting chat. Co-organizers can only see attendance report in the meeting chat, and only for meetings scheduled via Teams (not Outlook).
In the meeting invite
In Teams, go to Calendar , open the meeting, and select the Attendance tab. You can view the data directly in Teams.
For recurring meetings, select the report you want to view from the dropdown list.
Notes:
-
In channel meetings, the attendance report is available only for the most recent meeting from the channel, but you can go to the meeting invite page in Teams calendar for all channel meeting attendance reports.
To download the attendance CSV file for the meeting, click Download.
Note: If you set up breakout rooms in your meetings, the attendance information will be shown in the main meeting's attendance reports.
In the meeting chat
A tile labeled Attendance Report will pop into the chat about five minutes after your meeting ends. Select it to download the CSV file.
Note: For recurring meetings, you will receive a unique attendance report after each occurrence. You will not see the tile in meeting chat for meetings with less than 2 attendees. You can still see these reports by going to the invite "attendance" tab.
