Export Google Meet attendance to Google Sheets
No copy-paste, no manual roll-call, no waiting for Google's email report (which only the Education Plus tier gets anyway). Auto-export the full attendance sheet when the meeting ends.
Why this isn't built into Google Meet
Google's built-in attendance feature only exists on the Workspace Education Plus tier. Even on that tier, the output is a CSV emailed to the organizer — not a live Google Sheet you can sort, filter, share, or aggregate over time. For everyone else (Business Starter, Standard, Plus, Enterprise, personal Gmail), there's no built-in path.
The Meet REST API exposes participant data to any authenticated participant. A Marketplace add-on can read that data, turn it into a Sheet, and skip the upgrade-to-Education-Plus dance.
What ends up in the Sheet
| Column | What it means |
|---|---|
| Name | Display name from the Meet participant record |
| Email if the participant is in your Workspace directory or on the calendar invite | |
| RSVP Status | Accepted / Declined / Tentative / No Response — pulled from the matching calendar event |
| Late? | +5m if joined more than 5 minutes after the scheduled start; empty if on time |
| Join / Leave Time | Exact timestamps from the Meet API |
| Duration (min) | Total time in the meeting; sums across multiple sessions if they rejoined |
| Attendance % | Duration / meeting length, capped at 100% |
| Status | Present, Left, Absent, or Absent (excused) |
How the auto-export works
- The add-on polls the Meet API every 30 seconds while you're in the meeting.
- When the Meet API reports the conference has ended, the export fires automatically — no click required.
- If the meeting is part of a recurring Calendar series, the participants are auto-matched against the invite list. No-shows get tagged Absent.
- The sheet is created in a "Meet Attendance Tracker" folder in your Drive (created if it doesn't exist). Each meeting gets its own tab in a single spreadsheet — so you can sort/filter across sessions later.
- You get an email with the sheet link and an inline summary of who attended.
Manual export still works
If you want to export mid-meeting, the side panel has a Sheet button that triggers the same flow on demand. Useful for running a quick roll-call without waiting for the meeting to end.
Sharing the resulting sheet
The sheet is in your Drive, owned by you, with normal Google Sheets sharing controls. Right-click → Share, or copy the URL from the email. The add-on never touches sheets you didn't create with it — the requested permission scope is drive.file, which restricts the add-on to files it created.
Privacy
- The attendance data flows through your own Google account's OAuth token, not a shared service.
- The add-on stores the join/leave timestamps in its own backend for the recurring-series roll-up feature, but the source-of-truth Sheet is yours.
- The add-on never reads transcripts, video, audio, or chat. Just the participant list and timestamps that you can already see in the Meet participants panel.
