I am actually on vacation, but as I sit here under the summer sun, toes in the pool and a cold drink within reach, I have been waiting for that email confirming that I’ve been awarded my 11th Microsoft MVP Award!

Download participant list from Teams meetings

This feature is available only from within a meeting, and should be rolling out already (early may, according to the admin message center).
