Gotomeeting has an "attention" metric and it's completely, utterly useless. It works by seeing if the gotomeeting window has focus. Not even attempting to track visibility, but actual window focus. It's the laziest crap imaginable, yet unchanged for years now.
Paying attention during a meeting is pretty binary. Either you're engaged or your checking emails/Slack/etc. I've yet to meet anyone who successfully multitasks in Zoom calls.
Assuming attention is binary as parent suggested, than having someone in a meeting where they listen in, but in parallel working on something else seems to me to be a problem. Maybe the meeting should be split in that case so only people who are actually required and therefore spend their full attention on, are present in the split parts.
Not saying bossware is the best (or even an acceptable) solution to that problem, but it would surely be benefitial for an organization to reduce such inefficiencies.
