I'm wondering if it is possible to export conversations in Teams?  Also I'm just having trouble organizing my Team chats and finding messages from more than a month or two ago?  Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

    Is there a way to easily select an entire conversation? I find that it keeps dropping as I am highlighting and scrolling a long conversation.

    The worst thing about this is that if I have to scroll through a conversation that has been ongoing for months, Teams is so slow that it takes FOREVER to scroll through even the last week, let alone the whole thing.  The search feature is equally worthless.  It seems the only solution to extract needed data is to export it as plain text, but the feature doesn't exist as far as I can tell.  The community as a whole really needs MSFT to respond to the deficiency.

    I cannot believe you would suggest "share to outlook" as a solution. It only allows the share of one chat bubble at a time.

    Absolutely useless suggestion!

    A conversation is never one chat bubble, it is pages long.

    I absolutely agree that MS should be fixing this issue, and if this is not a priority then they do not care about their customers. I have had this version of teams for 2 years and everyone makes the same complaints. No response.

    I have never been forced to utilize such an useless tool in my many years in the business world. I have strongly requested that my management provide another tool for IM as this lacks features.
