Teams Class Register Order

[tadcooke]

Hi All, I've been asked if it is possible to list team meeting participants by surname in the Participants pane during a meeting, to make it easier for teachers to take registers. Has anyone else been asked this and if so, have you got a way of doing it? From searching it looks like Teams takes its display name format from O365, but I'm not having much luck finding how to alter this (we wouldn't mind if all display names were lastname/firstname).

If its any help, i've enabled attendance reports in and advised teachers to download this just before the end of the meeting and then they complete their registers later in the day.

The great thing about doing it this way is that the attendance report if downloaded just before the end shows if "Jonny" logged into the meeting for 5 minutes and then dropped off again so they can make sure the student was there for the whole lesson.

I'm thinking about giving that a go - am I right that the powershell will be:

Set-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy -Identity "Education_Teacher" -AllowEngagementReport Enabled

where "Education_Teacher" is our staff meetings policy?

 

Also is this the one that only works during the meeting? What do teacher's do if they forget to download it before ending the lesson?

 

Thanks for your help!

We've got this enabled, to my knowledge you can only access it in the Meeting and like Tefters, our teachers download it at the end of the lesson to get a full picture of whos logging in and for how long etc

Yes thats the correct powershell command and if a teacher forgets to do it then tough.

 

I usually have to automate every little detail as teachers are... Well... Special... But in this case I had to say "tough, this is one thing you have to do yourselves".
