How automatic Google Meet attendance tracking works
How AttendList automatically tracks attendance in every Google Meet you join, when reports appear, and how to change or disable it.
AttendList automatically tracks attendance in every Google Meet meeting you join with your Google account.
Once you've signed in and approved the Google permissions, we sync with Google Meet in the background and create attendance reports for you. There's nothing to install, and it works on any device: phone, tablet or computer.
Changing your sync interval
By default, AttendList syncs your meetings as often as your plan allows:
- Every hour on the free plan.
- Every 5 minutes on the Pro plan.
To change your sync interval (or disable automatic tracking), visit your Meeting Recording Settings and choose an option under "Automatic Tracking".
If you disable automatic tracking, you can still sync your meetings manually via the "Sync Now" button on your meetings page.
Instant tracking with the Chrome extension
For instant attendance tracking the moment you join a meeting, you can also install the AttendList Chrome Extension.
The extension has its own "Auto Attendance" setting, enabled by default. To disable it, un-tick the "Auto Attendance" setting in the AttendList Chrome Extension panel:

Frequently asked questions
How long until my attendance report appears?
Reports are created at your sync interval: every hour on the free plan, or every 5 minutes on Pro. Click Sync Now on your Meetings page to fetch them straight away, or install the Chrome extension for instant tracking.
Do I need to turn on tracking for each meeting?
No. Once you've signed in and approved the Google permissions, every meeting you join with that Google account is tracked automatically.
Can I stop AttendList from tracking some meetings?
Yes. You can disable automatic tracking in your Meeting Recording settings, or use conditional tracking to only record meetings whose title contains certain terms.
