I am sure someone will come up with an App which automatically connects 
to the meeting and pretends you are there. ;-)

Australian universities generally have a "don't check" policy, when it 
comes to student attendance in class. Only about a third of students 
normally showed up for lectures pre-COVID.

There is no reason why more would, or should, show up for the online 
equivalent of lectures. The smart institutions are replacing lectures 
with activities where students have to actually do something, and get 
marks for.
