Enable the attendee engagement report option

Here’s how:

You can find the Calendar in Teams by selecting it from the left-hand panel. Afterwards, on the next screen, you will need to choose New meeting > Live event from the upper-right corner of the screen.

You will need to enter the meeting title, the date and time, as well as other details on the next screen. Organize your event, then invite people.

Download the attendee engagement report

Using the attendee engagement report

Microsoft Excel or any other application that supports the .CSV format can open the report downloaded in .CSV (comma-separated values) format.

There are a number of values that can be listed in the report, including:

• Session ID: Session identifiers are unique to each session. Below is an example of a session being joined, then left (ended) in the same order.
• Participant ID: In email format, the session username. (This field may be blank depending on the settings of the live event and the participant.)
• Full Name: Participants in this session are identified by their names. In some cases, this may be blank (depending on the setting of the live event and the participant.)
• UserAgent: Provides information about the participant’s browser.
• UTC Event Timestamp: Each item in the .CSV file is displayed with the date and time. Listed items are sorted by time of occurrence in ascending order.
• Action: The status of the live event participant is either joined or left.
• Role: Participants can be attendees or event team members, such as producers or presenters.

An event team member is akanbi@contoso.com in this example. The .CSV sample below shows when she joins and leaves the event.

As a means of indicating that the two actions concern the same individual, both join Actions and leave Actions are tagged with the same Session ID.
