Backup, export, printing, archive options
Can Teams chat and activities data be exported, printed, archived, and backed up/restored? Within Sharepoint or elsewhere? This could be necessary for a few reasons both during projects and for historical records.

As mentioned already - I also agree that this should be an option.

Important organization knowledge is stored within conversations. I choose to converse over Teams instead of Emails. At least Emails can be archived. I feel like I got bit in the ass by using teams chats now having to try and archive all of this information.

We want to use Teams as a CV-19 teaching tool. We have 150 students, and whenever a topic ("Task") is completed we ask the students to enter their ID and the task ID into Chat. That provides a time stamp and we require a prompt response within 1 minute or so to show that they are paying attention. Without the ability to export the Chat and mine the attendance data this is useless!
Zoom is MUCH EASIER. Get with it Microsoft!!!!

We need the ability to backup conversations for document control purposes. Any ETA on this request?

Is there a way to add the function to save a Teams chat into a separate document, such as a PDF? Or otherwise linking to the chat from a place where the chat is relevant?

An important discussion is happening in a chat, and I want to export that chat to add to a ticket in a case, but cannot.

I know this available for administrators but this functionality would be really advantagous for documenting, for instance, for those of us who work on projects and maintain physical notebooks and files as required by government regulations.

It would be a great option in addition to deleting conversations.

This is very important to allow the documentation of details of requirements and implementation that only occur during chats!

As long as this feature, and a more prominent "reply" compared to "new conversation" feature, are not implemented, all these other highly upvoted, ridiculously complicated, "zero-qualifications-manager-who-has-to-jusitfy-their-position centric" features (like breakout rooms for meetings... really?) are just lipstick on a pig. How is "export history to a file" more than a dozen lines of code? How does it take 3 years to figure out how to make reply vs new more intuitive?

What is the purpose for have a "Microsoft Teams Uservoice" when you are apparently ignoring user input on this topic ?

I am very surprised that the brainstorm was raised for around 4 years and still not yet developed this features, I doubt if MS Teams is really taking care the customer experience.

This feature would be helpful if needed to share to someone who was not originally invited the the chat or meeting.

Please add this - would be a great way to keep online notes for a meeting where someone is sharing their screen

My company recently started using Teams, and I have been promoting it for all internal communications, in order to improve team working and make things slicker.
However, if we are to use Teams for important decision-making discussions and technical conversations where the information should be retained for future reference, we really need the ability to export a conversation or multiple conversations for archiving or forwarding purposes.
I was very surprised this seemingly basic and simple feature was not available. Without it, Teams can really only be used for trivial or very time-bounded conversations, which makes it a lot less useful as a business tool.
