In this tutorial, we’re going to explore the Zoom Meeting API. The good news is that as software engineers, we’re all about finding better ways to accomplish tasks and automate them.

But when there’s a dozen or more stakeholders that need to weigh in, establishing that a quorum exists sucks up meeting time.

If that’s only four or five people, no problem.

At the beginning of most of my Zoom calls that require serious discussions and decision-making, I often find myself asking, “is everyone who is needed for this conversation here?” That means we’re all spending significant portions of our days in virtual meetings, which are often hosted with Zoom. For details, please visit ' Getting started with reports'.Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, more software engineers have transitioned into roles that allow remote work. If a meeting is not started in 30 days and is batch deleted by Zoom, the reports for the meeting are also deleted. Note: Zoom Reports can be retrieved for the last 12 months, with a search range of up to one month at a time. Participants’ full name and email address will then be displayed in the list of meeting participants. Hosts could choose to schedule a meeting with the “ Only authenticated users can join” option on and all participants will need to log in Zoom with their EdUHK network account and password. Since participants can enter the name they wish to use, it might be difficult for the host to authenticate the participants’ identity.

You can generate an CSV file of the list by clicking the Export button.

If you need to have a unique name list, tick the option ' Show unique users'

A pop-up screen with the list and details of participants will be shown.

From the meeting you look for, click on the number of participants.

Choose the time range and click Search and it will bring up a list of past meetings.

On the Zoom portal, click Reports on the left panel and click Usage.

Visit and sign in with your EdUHK network account.

To this end, Zoom offers usage reports 30 minutes after a session is concluded. As Zoom can support up to 300 users in a single session, the hosts may want to know who have joined the session and how long they stayed in the session and what time they leave the session.
