Automatically Track Event Attendance

Want to see which of your teammates attended a video conference? Sick of screenshotting participant lists and scribbling down employee names? Well, you're in luck! Lessonly can automatically track event attendance and update a guest roster accordingly.

When creating an event, select the Other Video Conferencing radio button under video conference settings, then add a link to your non-Zoom video conference.

💡 Tip: For information on tracking attendance in Zoom conferences, see this article.

After clicking Create Event, you'll be redirected to the event's overview page. Here you'll find a Lessonly-generated Join Link that will track attendance as guests enter the video conference. Clicking Copy Link will add the join link to your clipboard.

Now you're ready to invite guests to your event. The attendance-tracking link will be included in all guest-facing material such as the invitation email and the My Training Events category of the Learn page.

💡 Important Note: If an event attendee is already logged into Lessonly, clicking the join link will navigate them directly to the video conference. If the attendee is not logged into Lessonly they'll be prompted to log in before they can join the event.

As attendees click the join link, Lessonly will update their attendance status.

  • Any user who clicks the join link will be marked ATTENDED, regardless of their RSVP status.

  • Invitees who RSVP’d but never click the join link will be marked UNCONFIRMED.

  • Invitees who don't RSVP or decline to attend will be marked DID NOT ATTEND.

Event organizers can edit users' attendance status after the event has concluded.
