This may strike some of you as a dumb question, but I don’t care, I’ve spent too long looking for a definitive answer without finding one.

If we configure Docebo VILT for Microsoft Teams, will attendance in Docebo be synced from the actual attendance records in Microsoft Teams?

Students attending the event are tracked by the user clicking the button to launch the event in your platform. It is not tracked by them entering the teams event isolated from your platform.

Thank you, Emily.

Does that therefore mean that it doesn’t track how long they spent in the webinar? So they could launch the event, be marked as having attended, and then leave after a minute?

Hi Ian, from my understanding and experience with the platform, you are indeed correct. A way of checking this is exporting the attendance records from Teams directly and cross checking them with the data provided for attendance in your platform.

Good to know, thank you Emily. The cross-referencing is exactly the sort of double work I would hope to avoid via an integration, so this is leading me to think that the work of configuring Docebo VILT for Microsoft Teams is not worthwhile and we should consider alternative means of streamlining this.

Hi ​@Ian, we’re running into the same issue on our side with the Teams integration. Did you figure anything out from either a setting within the sessions/events, or within the Teams integration? Would be great to know if there’s a workaround that would eliminate the manual work of cross-comparing. Thanks!

We haven’t actually executed on this yet, ​@jfiala, but we’ve discussed with Docebo and it is possible to sync attendance durations from Teams via the Microsoft Graph API. Which in our case we plan to do through Docebo Connect later this year, but note that this will be a substantial investment both in time and money.

Thanks ​@Ian, I appreciate the quick response. I’ll let you know if we’re able to get anything to work on our end as well.
