This is where Microsoft Team's Attendance Report comes in handy, it is a one-click solution for you as a Teacher to download the Attendance Record in your Microsoft Teams session meetings.

You can download the attendance report while the meeting is in progress or after the meeting has ended.

The report will contain the dates and times that students joined or left your session. To download the report:
