    I definitely need this feature when using Teams for business purposes.

  • Suraj commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This is required as it help to quickly check all the back history which was communicated.

  • Casey Squall commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This feature is a must-have, got my vote.
    It's beyond me how Teams can be released and expected to replace Skype for Business without this.
    Generally speaking if you're going to replace a business product, you'd want all the current features of the product it's replacing + new features.
    As it stands, Teams feels like a beta product still, developed from scratch without any consideration to the features that should be included.

    We won't be able to use teams for any meaningful conversation until this feature is added. It seems we will need to stay with Jabber for now.

    Is this a joke that the history is not saved?
    It's pointless to have any meaningful conversation without being able to go back to them.
    Wanted to go back to a conversation and noticed that it is gone.
    Will never use Microsoft Teams chat again until the conversations start to be saved..
    Better to use e-mail instead.

    Yes, please add the functionality of automatically getting Teams Conversation History in Outlook. And please design that history in the Outlook folder to be organized/grouped by Teams, chats, etc.
    This is a major drawback in Teams.
    You FORCED us to move to Teams, and negatively affected our productivity.
    Thanks.

    Even with WhatsApp, you can cut and paste into an excel spreadsheet, and with a couple of Macros do a nicely formatted history which of course you can search through.
    WHAT were they thinking ?
    There is no way to search in the conversations. so something over a year you cannot find the date and time you agreed or revealed something.
    Also you cannot cut and paste, it seems like it will only allow a few lines to be copied, I tried to copy about 100 lines and it wouldn't paste all but a few.

    So what does Teams offer over SfB that makes useful features like this disappear? Oh wait, it's Microsoft - function isn't the number one priority.

  • Joseph Michaud commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I don't particularly like being pushed into Teams. Skype for business worked exactly the way we wanted. Now we have a big bloated, confounding, intrusive (and annoying) interface that doesn't even do the important things... Like saving conversation in accordance with document retention requirements. Please add the ability to save chat transcripts, or allow the option to remain with Skype

  • The Office Administrator commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I need to store chats for future reference but can't currently do this in Teams as it does not backup to 'conversation history'. Chats are as relevant as email communications in HR matters for example. Please instate this, thank you.

  • Janet Kang commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Saving the chats to Conversation History, or some other Outlook/Exchange folder, is a must. It will be a real step backward from Skype if this functionality is not provided.
    It will also send many of us back to using Email for many communications, if it is not provided.

    Must have this one! Especially when I search conversations with ex-employee.
