Getting a list of attendees programmatically, during the Teams Meeting (from Command Line Application)

Question

Hello,

Posting here, per guidance provided to me from this post: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msteams/forum/all/getting-a-list-of-attendees-programmatically/e8fb0d9f-ab0a-4b54-a715-d5ddf182efb7

I am trying to programmatically (through C#) get a list of attendees, WHILE the Teams Meeting is in progress. I am the owner of the meeting. I wanted to confirm that I was on the right path, as the sample code that I wrote is not returning anything:

• Is this the right documentation for the above scenario? List participants - Microsoft Graph v1.0 | Microsoft Learn. Specifically, is the following the right call to be used?

GraphServiceClient graphClient = new GraphServiceClient( authProvider );

var participants = await graphClient.Communications.Calls["{call-id}"].Participants .Request() .GetAsync();

• Where can I find the [call-id] of the meeting, which is a parameter that needs to be passed in?
• Will the above code snippet work only when the meeting is in session or can I test after meeting as well?

Answer 1

Please go through the AttendanceReport documentation to get the attendance details of a Teams Meeting.

Thanks,
Meghana

Thanks, @Meghana-MSFT --- It looks like the resources that you pointed me to require that the meeting must be over, before I can collect the attendance statistics, right? I need to do this programmatically, while the meeting is in progress (to get the list of attendees at that time)

From your link:

Get a list of meetingAttendanceReport objects for an onlineMeeting. Each time an online meeting ends, an attendance report is generated for that session.

@Meghana-MSFT : Is there an alternate way to get the live participant list, while the meeting is in session?
