Export messages from Teams Chat?

How is it possible there's no integrated way to export chats? Even Lync/Skype had the option to do that!

Btw, there seems to be no way to select an entire conversation. When the window scrolls the selection is lost. Also, copied content does not have format. Terrible!

Thank you for posting this back in February. It's moderately helpful. Now it will only take me three years to copy all of the messages I have in a single one-on-one.

I am certain that MS Teams in the background is parsing one JSON file at a time, each a "page". These are certainly doubly-linked lists (meaning each "page" JSON file references both the page before and the page after). To traverse back to the beginning of a chat *by itself* takes me an hour using the web app or fat client app, and I'd have to do that first before doing your suggestion. ...but yes, your suggestion is helpful, in that it makes the boundaries of each page apparent (when the shift->down arrow becomes unresponsive).

Seriously, how hard would it be for MS to implement a page-less dump. Geeze. They are acting like this is a major undertaking that they've known is a priority for some time, but it must be just sooo difficult.

This is ridiculous @Microsoft. This is such a basic functionality, a concept that is available in many other MS products.

If the content is over a few screens in length, this method does not work.

Clicking and dragging with the mouse will work for a screen's worth of content or so, then the screen refreshes and what is highlighted gets lost/unhighlighted/forgotten/left to perish in the annals of time and space.
