Record Microsoft Teams Attendance

The MS Teams integration allows instructors to record attendance based on the participants who joined their MS Teams session. MS Teams integration must be configured by system administrators for the MS Teams button/s to show.

At the conclusion of the Teams session, the instructor should open the corresponding session in aPlus+ attendance, and select the Microsoft Teams button.

aPlus+ will retrieve the instructors Teams account information in order to provide a list of meetings that were completed close to the time of the scheduled session.

A list of completed Teams sessions, 24 hours either side of date and time of the aPlus+ session, will be shown for selection. (This is adjustable through settings available to an administrator)

The instructor should select the session that they would like to retrieve attendance from. Alternatively if available a meeting Join URL can be entered to select that meeting.

Students are matched from the Teams session based primarily on their email address that their Teams account or user is associated with.

Instructor should select “Record as Attended” to record attendance for the matched participants.

A confirmation screen is shown, the window can now be closed:

Matched students are marked with your chosen attendance status. In this case “Attended – Teams”. The first time of arrival on the Teams session is shown, along with a total showing the total number of minutes attended. This excludes any time where a student may have disconnected from  the Teams session temporarily.

Instructor should review attendance, make any manual adjustments, then select save (top right):

The recorded attendance will then show:
