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 definitely needs to be made into an easy task to do when an employee leaves. despite being asked to use the project channels, employees still send information to supervisors via chat and the risk of vital quality assurance information being lost is high when the chat messages are deleted after the license has been removed from an ex-employee.

Our corporate policy of chat purge after 30 days means I either regularly lose important conversations or I have a really painful process to manually archive them (yeah, yeah, I know 30 day policy might be a little aggressive, but this is what bean counters do to productivity). But as Jack said below, 4 years (and 10k+ votes) on still under review gives little hope. I just got that "merged..." notice as well.

Just received a note that someone at MS merged "Export your conversations to a document" with this. Given how long this has been "under review" I have no real hopes that it will be put in effect any time soon, but someone is paying some kind of attention anyway.

I would expect this as a basic feature from a piece of software.
Shouldn't this be a standard?
And it seems, there are really a lot of people outside there, that want and need this feature too.
More than 4 years passed - does this feature come? -

Hey Warren - nearly 3 years later - got any updates for us? I appreciate that TEAMS is becoming a one-stop-shop for comms/groups/SPO/planners/etc, but when you replace SfB you should provide the same functionality as a minimum requirement - conversation history should've been in scope as it was in SfB - the most I can copy/paste is around 140 chrs before the selection fails, even in the web-browser where I can select it all, I only get around 140 chrs - there's some kind of hard limit coded in - can you at least check that? -

Why has this (Conversation history in Outlook not available) not been resolved yet?
I thought MSteams was out of beta already, we have been forced away from Skype for Business to the MSteams application which does not seem to have the same level of features as the FsB it is replacing. All I notice is it is getting more and more a Facebook app with its (hundreds of) useless niche apps and a myriad of emoticons, I just need a FsB type application that I can use to make voice calls, voice and video meetings and do IM chat and I need to be able to access all IM chat along with my e-mails so i can search for all (written) communication in one place! I don't need a social media app I need a business communication app like SfB! -

emoticons should not have priority over this request -

We are using Teams in our organization when we have operational issues.
For documentation on which decisions taken, we need to have the possibility to export the chat.Sometimes I wish we should switch back to Skype. Or transfer to another chat software.

The most common use case I've been waiting for is an ad hoc chat, or a meeting side channel chat, evolving into actionable work -- such as bugs or feature design proposals, or even just a follow-up email threads. Currently, it's a pain to go one-by-one to manually copy and paste the data.

Looks like the MS Teams team are more happy to deal with silly features like small or big emoticons than important features like this, where the competition is way ahead of MS.
Please get your priorities correct. -

There is a critical need for this for eDiscovery purposes. This needs to be a top priority

I have no idea why this conversation has been merged but since that's happened, lets re-open it. I have Skype for Business Voice and I want to see my call history (including calls made, received and missed) and chat history in my 'Conversation History' folder in outlook. I depend on this feather so that I can track who I spoke with and when and who I missed. I don't want to have to keep a Teams Windows open. Until this is available, I can't use Teams.

Teams is the worst message app we've ever seen across the industry... BUT DON'T WORRY ... We've spend our resources moving literally everything around in the O365 Admin Center THREE TIMES NOW FOR NO F*KING REASON!
Can't wait until good competitors finally edge-out MS.

This is a no brainer. I have 2 dozen questions submitted during a training presentation and I have to hand copy and paste them over to use them, email them to people who can answer, etc.

We need to be able to Export, print, archive or search and save chats for compliance. Why would this not be a feature that is easily found and usable for Global Admins if not for general users ALREADY. These apps are not ready for the Enterprise. For the love of all that's holy stop adding stupid features like emojis and start adding things that actually matter to the people who have to manage this stuff.

We did trainings and our teacher did paste a lot informations in our chat. After a while the chats for trainings get closed and by now, we loose every time a lot informations.
