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.

This is such a basic need, unbelievable that Microsoft has not done this yet!

From a business perspective, I need to review my chats from months ago.

Just finished a Teams meeting and bumped into this shortcoming when I learned the hard way that there is no easy way to grab all the text in one go. Many thanks to Anonymous (https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/users/1719369742) who pointed me to this page by suggesting users lend their voice to the highest voted request on this topic (rather than just the first one I blundered across). @Warren (or whoever inherited this responsibility), I know you guys get swarmed with requests, but can y'all at least acknowledge that this request is still under consideration? 2+ years is plenty of time to provide *some* update response.

Note that this request has been submitted to UserVoice dozens of times under separate entries:
... and lots more with hundreds of votes each.
@Warren, any chance of an update?

Given my organisations deletion policy (5 days and its gone) for chat, and the valuable insights that you can uncover in chat sometimes, it seems incredible that MS didn't think there would be a need to archive chat for a sizable number of users. This has got to be a HIGH VALUE use case, but my guess is Bill hasn't asked for it yet so no-one is working on it.

This is a HIGHLY valuable option for end user Teams chats. We are providing user support for a system rollout and using Teams Chat to record incoming issues.

Is it also possible Microsoft hasn't even looked at this request in 2.5 years?

Is it possible this functionality still doesn't exist?

I vote for adding this functionality. Teams is the main communication tool used by my company, so we need the ability to refer back to the chat history.

Chiming in that this is an important feature, which Microsoft should prioritize. With Skype for Business, we were configured to have all conversations retained in Outlook "Conversation History". In my case, I never used 98% of these items, but the 2% I referenced were invaluable to the (ahem) team--helping to update process documentation, pass along findings from troubleshooting situations, and reworking into reminders of action items to which we committed.
It's bizarre that I can record the video and audio from a Teams meeting, but cannot readily retain the text of a chat!

I have to say I'm baffled by this basic feature not being included yet and no updates. My issue isn't legal compliance so much as being an end user who just wants to include it as part of the meeting notes - I can select all and paste, but it isn't an ideal option. The Zoom chat feature is much more intuitive for this.

Sure would like to be able to save/move (old) TEAMs chat data to another (new) TEAMs grp and then archive or decommission original TEAMs grp

.... and what about two years later ... is it still under review then? Cant believe how poor this software is that you cant even export from it, theres a project on github that does it, that bloke created it himself, I shouldn't have to rely on third party people because microsoft suck. -

Hi there, anyone has a workaround ?
I tried the gofullpage screenshot extension of Chrome that is already something good, but I'd rahter be able to search (have text instead of image) within the conversation.
thanks
