Track attendance and view live stream report

• Attendance tracking is available to Google Workspace Essentials, Business Plus, Enterprise Starter, Enterprise Essentials, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, Education Plus and the Teaching and Learning Upgrade users. 
• Live stream reports are only available for Workspace users with access to the live stream feature. Live streaming is  available for Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, Education Plus, and Teaching and Learning Upgrade editions. 

Attendance tracking and live-stream reports will be enabled by default for your organisation and can be turned on or off by administrators. Learn more. 

• Google Workspace for Education Plus users and Teaching and Learning Upgrade users automatically receive an attendance report for any meeting with two or more participants and a live-stream report for all live-stream events.
• All other eligible Workspace users can turn attendance tracking and live-stream reports on and off from within a meeting or from the Google Calendar event. 
  • If you turn these features off in recurring meetings or meetings that use the same meeting code, the setting will be saved for the next scheduled meeting  If you turn these features off in a one-time, nicknamed or instant meeting, the feature will return to on after the meeting ends.
• Tip: Anyone who schedules or starts a meeting will be the meeting host. If you transfer or schedule a meeting on someone else's calendar, the other person could become the meeting host. By default, there is only one meeting host per meeting, but you can add up to 25 co-hosts once inside the meeting.

• Participant's name 
  • If someone calls in from their mobile device, instead of their name, some of the digits from their phone number will be listed. 
  • If someone calls in from a Google Meet meeting room, instead of their name, the meeting room's name will be listed. 
• Participant's email
• The length of time that the participant was on a call, including timestamps of when they first joined and when they left the call. 
  • If someone gets ejected from a call, that timestamp will be recorded as the time that they left the call. 
  • If someone joins and leaves the call more than once, multiple timestamps won't be listed but their overall call duration will be included.
