i am trying to do automated attendance taker for zoom since my mother ,who is a teacher,spends more than an hour for taking attendance photos and looking them one by one so i tried to find addresses of people who are in meeting when i search their name with string i came up with user_name...PERSON NAME
but there was no pattern , some of the people's results are more than one and some of them had 0 results any ideas please?

If you want to take attendance by only looking at the namestrings, can't you just use OCR on the participants section to do that?

http://capture2text.sourceforge.net/

But that system would be easily cheated by spoofing names, so your mother would still have to look at the photos one by one. Unless you want to go down the route of training an AI to recognize the students, but then you would be in the wrong forum for that.

students must have their nickname as school number + name for example:
301 Peter Cunningham
302 Peter Pan etc.

and for your suggestion it is nearly same time because there is like 100-120 students (3-4 classes in same lesson)which takes 5 minutes (my mom really not into technology if i explain her how to use it she will ask again tomorrow) while lesson is 30mins

I think the OCR suggestion is a decent one and still potentially workable. If you have the OCR engine do a big text dump you could sort alphabetically and then you would know which students are missing by which numbers are skipped. And to double check, you could search for the ones you think are absent just to be sure that the OCR engine missed them somehow.

If this is too much for your mom, you could even go a step further and write a batch script that does most of this work for her when she feeds it an OCR text dump.

Well, you said your mom takes more than an hour in the first post so 5 minutes to OCR the entire participants list and do a compare against the students records is still a huge improvement over that.

Else, there is apparently this polling feature in Zoom that you can use to extract a CSV list of all participants who reply to a poll (i.e. attendance taking) and their names and IDs which you can then use to compare in Excel or something. This would require active participation from all attendees but I guess that should be a given since its a schooling context.

There is a meetings record feature but apparently that one can’t be generated and downloaded while the meeting is ongoing.
