Google Meet's attendance report, compared with AttendSure
On some Google Workspace plans, Google Meet emails the meeting organiser an attendance report as a Google Sheet after the meeting. It lists each participant's name, email, the time they joined and exited, and how long they stayed.
This page compares AttendSure with that report specifically.
