You can track video-meeting activity in your organization using the Google Meet audit log. For example, you can see when a user starts a meeting, where they’re joining meetings from, and who was in a meeting.

| Event name | The action that was logged, such as a device (endpoint) leaving a meeting. |

Details on event names and descriptions
The audit report shows log entries for each time an event occurred. Most event names are self-explanatory. For example, Organizer Email shows the email address of the meeting organizer. However, you might see more detailed log data, such as:
- Network congestion ratio—Percentage of time that the network prevented a device from sending higher-quality video due to insufficient or unstable bandwidth, such as high or unstable jitter. Watch this metric to detect network regression in your organization.
- Jitter—Variation of the latency on packets flowing between Google servers and a device in a video meeting. In an ideal network, packets come at a constant interval. In reality, the network introduces a variety of delays, which cause the packets to come at irregular intervals.
- Round trip time—Length of time it takes for a packet to travel to Google servers and come back.
- Bit rate—Amount of audio or video information received or sent, in bits per second (bps).
- Estimated download or upload bandwidth—Approximate amount of network bandwidth used to send and receive audio, video, and presentation data.
