Taking Attendance for a Zoom Meeting

Taking Attendance for a Zoom Meeting (via zoom.us)

1. Sign into your Zoom account at https://zoom.us. (If you are already signed in, click on “My Account” at the top right-hand corner of the Zoom website.)
2. Select Reports from the menu at the far-left side of the page.
3. Select the Usage option on the Reports page.

When you click “Usage,” a new Usage Reports page will load displaying the data for recent meetings. Only meetings that had at least 2 participants (host included) will appear in this list.

In the Usage Reports list, the “Participants” column indicates the number of users who attended that session. This number is a hyperlink; clicking on it will open a new window that displays the screen names of participants, the email address associated with the Zoom account a participant was logged into, and attendance data.

At the top-right of the pop-up window is an “Export” button. Clicking on “Export” will automatically download a .csv file containing the statistics displayed in the window. There are two types of reports that can be exported:

Default: This is a highly specific report which displays each time a participant joined and left a session. Participants may appear in the list several times if, for instance, they left and rejoined the meeting, participated in Breakout Rooms, and so forth.

Unique Users: Checking the box next to the “Show unique users” option at the top of the window will display only the total amount of time spent in the session and will not show any Join/Leave data.

Generating Poll Reports for a Zoom Meeting (via Zoom.us)

1. Sign into your Zoom account at https://zoom.us. (If you are already signed in, click on “My Account” at the top right-hand corner of the Zoom website.)
2. Select Reports from the menu at the far-left side of the page.
3. Select the Meeting option on the Reports page.
4. Toggle the Report Type to Poll Report.
5. Click the Search button to populate the list.

When you click the “Search” button, a list of recent meetings will populate under the “Meeting Report” tab, regardless of whether polls were taken in those sessions. Recurring meetings will have identical names, but you can identify specific sessions by the “Start Time.”

Before a poll report can be downloaded, it must be created. Click on the “Generate” link next to individual sessions in the list to create the poll report for that meeting. Alternately, you can request poll reports in bulk by checking the boxes next to multiple sessions and clicking the “Generate” button that appears at the top of the list.

Once you click “Generate,” you will be brought to the “Report Queue” tab. After the poll reports have finished processing, a “Download” link will appear next to each session. Clicking on the link will download the poll report for that meeting in .csv format.
