Meet Attendance Tracker
🔒 Free · Open source · 100% local · v2.1

Google Meet attendance that takes itself.

A Chrome extension that quietly records who joined your call, when they were first and last seen, how long they stayed and how much they spoke. It marks your class or team list Present, Late or Absent, charts attendance over time, and exports everything to CSV, Excel, PDF or JSON in one click.

Everything you need to take attendance

Built for teachers, team leads and anyone who needs to know who was really there.

⚡

Automatic & manual save

Saved automatically while the call runs and when it ends. Prefer control? Turn auto-save off and hit Save now (or Alt+Shift+S).

⏱️

Accurate timing

First seen, last seen and time in call for everyone. Leaves and rejoins become separate sessions, and gaps aren't counted.

🎙️

Speaking time

Uses Meet's own on-screen speaking indicator to estimate how long each person talked. No audio is ever processed.

📋

Rosters: who's missing

Paste names or import a CSV of expected attendees, link it to a meeting code and see Present / Late / Absent live in Meet, in the dashboard and in every export.

✅

Attendance rules

Set a late threshold and a minimum time in call (minutes or % of the meeting). Short visits are flagged Too short.

📈

Analytics

Per-person attendance rate, average time, speaking total and trend, plus attendance-over-time, top speakers and speaking-share charts.

🔁

Recurring meetings

Meetings with the same code are grouped into a series with a who-came-when matrix you can export to Excel or CSV.

💬

Chat capture

Messages shown in Meet's chat panel are saved with the meeting and exported (CSV, Excel sheet, PDF, JSON).

🔔

Join & leave alerts

Small pop-ups in Meet when someone joins, rejoins or leaves, with an optional quiet sound.

🏷️

Tags & notes

Add tags and notes to any meeting, filter your history by tag and export a tag or date range in bulk.

📁

Every export you need

CSV, Excel (status-coloured), branded PDF with summary stats, JSON, chat CSV and copy as table for Google Sheets. All encoders are bundled; nothing comes from a CDN.

অ

Bengali & any script

Names in Bengali, Arabic, CJK and more render correctly in PDFs. The interface is available in English and বাংলা.

🌙

Dark mode

Follows your system theme by default, or force light or dark. Works in Meet, the popup and the dashboard.

⌨️

Keyboard shortcuts

Alt+Shift+M toggles the panel, Alt+Shift+S saves now. Change them in Chrome's shortcut settings.

🛡️

Robust detection

Several detection strategies plus a MutationObserver keep it working as Meet's layout changes, and short UI glitches are smoothed out.

🔒

Private by design

Only the storage permission. No servers, no accounts, no analytics. Back up or wipe your data any time.

🔒

Private by design

  • Stored locally. Attendance lives in your browser's extension storage and nowhere else.
  • No network requests. No servers, accounts, analytics, ads or third-party scripts.
  • No audio or video. Only names, on-screen indicators and chat messages that Meet already shows you are read.
  • Minimal permissions. Just storage, plus a content script on meet.google.com. Keyboard shortcuts and themes need no extra permissions.
  • You're in control. Delete one meeting or everything, or back up to a JSON file.

Read the full privacy policy. Please follow your organisation's policies and local laws when recording attendance.

FAQ

Do other participants need the extension?

No. Only the person taking attendance installs it.

Is speaking time exact?

It's a close estimate from Meet's on-screen speaking indicator, sampled about once a second. Meet sometimes shows only some tiles, so open the People panel for the most complete list.

What happens if I reload the Meet tab?

The same meeting is resumed, so you won't get a duplicate.

How does the roster decide who is absent?

Names are matched flexibly: exact names, aliases, reordered names and honorifics such as "Md." all match. Anyone on the roster who never appears is Absent, people joining after your late threshold are Late, and people below the minimum time are marked Too short.

Is the chat saved?

Messages are saved only while Meet's chat panel has shown them. You can turn chat capture off in Settings.

Does it work with Google Workspace accounts?

Yes, it works with any account that can open meet.google.com in a Chromium browser.
