- Google rolls out support for attendance reports to Workspace customers
- There are several new improvements in Meet
- Google is adding new controls for admins
After becoming exclusive to education in September, Google Meet attendance reports are now rolling out to enterprise customers with more insights and additional features.
Attendance reports include the participant’s name including email, and the duration they were on the call. These spreadsheets, which are generated and emailed at the end of a meeting, are now adding live stream data. This data identifies the total count and graphs viewers over the course of a session.
Similarly, when streaming, hosts and attendees will see a live count in the top-left corner.
Why are Google Meet’s attendance reports available for Workspace?
Workspace Enterprise customers to get additional insights into people attending meetings. Google Workspace enterprise customers can now see Google Meet attendance reports, a feature Google made available to education users in September.
Google will allow non-education organizers to activate and deactivate attendance reports. This will be via the in-meeting settings during the call or the Calendar event before the meeting starts. Google will deactivate the reports by default, so organizers must activate this if they want them.
Why is Google expanding the availability of Meet?
Google Meet is expanding the availability of breakout rooms and bringing improvements to the feature. Breakout rooms will now be available for customers with Google Workspace plans.
Meeting moderators can set timers for breakout sessions, dial-in participants can be assigned to the rooms. Additionally, participants can also request for help.
Google is expanding the availability of Meet attendance reports beyond Enterprise for Education customers to other Workspace tiers: Essentials, Business Plus, Enterprise Essentials, Enterprise Standard, and Enterprise Plus.
