Taking Attendance in Zoom Classes
What’s this about?
Taking attendance in face-to-face classes is pretty straightforward. How do we do it in Zoom classes? Luckily Zoom keeps track of all of the participants in all Zoom meetings, so you just need to get to the reports that have this info. You can then download and open them in a spreadsheet program like Excel.
