Getting a list in dynamic page - probottpric - Oct-09-2020

Hey guys,

I am using python 3 with selenium and beautifulSoup and am trying to get a list of the members participating in a google meet. The problem is i think the page is dynamic, so only when the members list shown in the screen are visible in the html program (using inspect element). I have done many things with static webpages but this thing i am not able to solve.

Any suggessions?
Thanks.

What have you tried?
If you don't know how to get started, take the short tutorials on this forum.
The part you need most is selenium, because it will deliver the web page after javascript expansion.
