Zoom meetings include a list of participants that are signed in and connected to the meeting at any time. We’ve found that taking screenshots of this participants list and later matching those with a class roster is a reliable way to capture attendance during Zoom meetings. If you have a course assistant, faculty assistant, or co-instructor, consider having them help with this. The process is described below.
(Another approach to attendance-taking is to use the Zoom Usage Reports feature to view a list of participants who attended meetings that you’ve hosted. Be aware that your usage report may miss any students who were not signed into their Zoom account with their SUNet ID or students who dialed into the meeting by phone).
