Audit Microsoft Teams Meetings & Export Meeting Attendance Report

Recently, Microsoft introduced the long-awaited ability to audit Microsoft Teams meetings through Audit Log Search. Earlier, admins had to perform eDiscovery searches to track Microsoft Teams meetings. With the new feature, admins can easily track meeting activities to help organizations with compliance obligation, internal investigation, and security events.

You can audit Teams meetings either through audit log search or PowerShell. Let’s see the meeting activities tracked by Microsoft 365 audit log.

• MeetingDetail – Shows information about meetings, including the start time, end time, and the URL to join the meeting.
• MeetingParticipantDetail – Shows added information about the participants in the meeting, along with their meeting joined time and left time.

You can filter the above operations from the Audit section in Microsoft 365 compliance center to get the Teams meeting audit reports.

Most admins prefer PowerShell due to its speed, automation, and capabilities. So, we have included the method to monitor Teams meetings through PowerShell too. By using Search-UnifiedAuditLog cmdlet, you can get Teams meetings and their participant list.

It is good to have a way to audit Teams meeting through PowerShell. However, it has a few downsides, as pointed below.

• The cmdlet provides audit data as JSON objects, which need to be parsed for further information.
• Participants’ names are shown as Object ID instead of UPN, which is difficult to understand.

To overcome these difficulties, we have created a PowerShell script to audit Microsoft Teams meetings and see who attended a meetings. The ‘Team meeting attendance report‘ will show participants’ names and the audit data in a user-friendly manner. Additionally, the script generates ‘Teams meetings audit report’ to get detailed information on Teams meetings.

Method 3: Execute the script by explicitly mentioning credentials (Scheduler-friendly).

To schedule the script in the Windows Task Scheduler, you can follow the below format,

If the admin account has MFA, then you need to disable MFA using the Conditional Access policy to use them in scheduling.

Method 4: Generate Teams meeting auditing report for a custom period.

By default, the script generates a report for the past 90 days. If needed, you can use the -StartDate and -EndDate parameters to retrieve meeting details for a custom period.

The above format will retrieve Teams meeting details that occurred from August 10, 2023, to August 20, 2023.

The script designed to provide 2 Output files, one with detailed teams meeting report and another with Teams meetings’ participants list.
