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

    Hi there,

    You may try the following workaround:

    1. Open Teams into the Browser, Chrome for instance
    2. Select all the conversation, right click and select Print as PDF
    3. It will save as PDF and also include the pictures 

    You may also pop up the conversation from Microsoft Teams client, perform select full conversation, copy and paste into a Word document.

    Hope this helps.

    Regards,

    R.

    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.

    Thank Bouke, but to be honest having to run powershell commands to export to chat to a .PST file is not exactly a convenient solution.  I tried to run this and got an error (Get-mailbox : The term 'Get-mailbox' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.), which suggests to me that I need to be on the server on which Teams resides, to which I do not and will not ever have access.

    This happened with me and I am not sure why Microsoft is not paying enough attention.

    As an organization, we used Lotus Notes and compared to Microsoft architecture, I like the Domino and Lotus Notes as the concepts and design were superior. However, when compared to Microsoft, their licensing was a nightmare and marketing was horrible. (compared to Microsoft.)

    Continues neglect of this led the downfall of Lotus Notes.

    Then, with the Windows Explorer Index issue (size not reflecting correct size in a folder) was not properly addressed for almost 2 years until 1909.

    Point here is, if Microsoft don't address fundamental issues of what we, as users want, no one can stop them getting replaced by something which serves us better, irrespective of their standing/positioning today in the line.

    Listen to 'What we Want' and 'FIX' the problem ASAP. Where are your analysist, experts and decision makers??????
