How to track and download Microsoft Teams meeting attendance report of participants/students

Microsoft Teams is a great product for conducting online virtual meetings, be it with colleagues, vendors, partners or university students.

Meeting organizers/professors/teachers can view and download meeting attendance report.
The option can be accessed from the Participants pane of the meeting. Click "Download attendance list" to download report in .CSV format.

Note that this requires the Microsoft 365 Tenant Administrator to enable "AllowEngagementReport" property from PowerShell. This cannot be done from the UI yet.
