Finding and Understanding Zoom Reports on Attendance, Polling, Registration
Zoom offers a range of reporting tools that help hosts track session activity, measure engagement, and review participant data. Whether you need to see who attended a meeting, analyze poll responses, or review registration details, Zoom's reporting features make it easy to gather and interpret this information. In this article, we’ll show you how to access and understand reports on attendance, polling, and registration to help you make the most of your Zoom sessions.
Zoom reports provide information on Attendance, Registration (if required), and Poll responses (if used). If a meeting allows only authenticated users (i.e., requires NetID and NetID password sign in), the report will show the SBU email address of attendees.
There are two types of reports: Usage reports and Meeting reports. Here is what each type will show:
- Usage [i.e., for attendance]: Downloads a .csv file with Name (Original Name), User Email, Join Time, Leave Time, Duration (Minutes)
- Meeting [i.e., for registration and polls]: Shows results of polls (user name, email address, poll question, poll response) OR registration (for meetings when registration is required). Meeting poll reports show an error if the meeting didn't use a poll; Meeting registration reports show an error if the meeting didn't require registration.
