The teacher names the student behind the nickname
Names in the participation list that matched no student sit at the top. The teacher presses the button on that row, opens the list of students enrolled in the classroom and picks the right one. The join time and duration recorded against that meeting name are then counted as that student's attendance.
How it is done today
Students do not join meetings under the name on the register. One joins as 'Tasnim', another as 'Tasnim Apu', a third from their father's phone under his name. Automatic matching cannot place these, and if the teacher cannot fix them by hand, a student who sat through the whole class stays down as absent.
How it works
- 1
Look at the unmatched names
On the participation page, names that matched no student are sorted to the very top of the table, so there is nothing to hunt for.
- 2
Use the times to decide
Before choosing, read the row's join time, total duration and share of the class. That is usually enough to tell who sat through it and who joined and left.
- 3
Pick the student
Press the button on the row to open the list of enrolled students, type to search and choose the right one. A 'Student assigned' message confirms it.
- 4
Clear it if you get it wrong
If a row went to the wrong student, press the button again and clear the choice. The row returns to unmatched and can be assigned afresh.
What runs on its own, what stays in your hands
What happens automatically
Meeting names are matched against enrolled students automatically, so the ones that line up need nothing from the teacher.
What you control
Where no match was found, the teacher decides which name belongs to which student, and can clear the choice again.

Frequently asked questions
What if two people joined under the same name?
Each row is assigned separately, so two rows can go to two different students. The join times and durations usually make it clear which row belongs to whom.
What if one student joined twice?
A dropped connection can produce two rows. Assign the same student to both and their two stretches of time are counted together.
Does the assignment save straight away?
Yes. Choosing a student sends it to the server at once and a message confirms it. If it fails, a red message gives the reason rather than letting it disappear.
Can a student claim their own row?
No. The assign button belongs to the teacher. The final say over attendance stays with them.
