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

    1. Copying entire conversations is difficult, as it will only allow copying roughly a page at a time. When you attempt to include more than a page, it will either drop off the first part or the second part. It is unclear what the application considers to be a "page".

    I too had that problem. Solution is to do the conversation "Pop Out" , then Ctrl-A to select All, then copy and paste to Word.

    Works for me! ;)

    Yep, and what about those stupid stickers? I thought Teams was aimed at working adults...

    @Rudy Xu MSFT, that sort of works. Format is sort of preserved. Some items such as the reactions to comments are copied like a full page of emoticons. Pictures are not copied. For large chats it only copies part of it.

    Given that there is no other way to do it this is the least terrible way to copy a chat. However that is still not usable.

    Install Chrome extension - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gofullpage-full-page-scre/fdpohaocaechififmbbbbbknoalclacl

    Open Team in Chrome

    Click on extension to get the pdf/image of the chat. It will auto scroll and extract. Probably in image format. you may need to use some OCR to extract text.
