Please can you tell me how to export a chat that went on during a 4 hour teams meeting? It is too long to copy and paste screen by screen and I need to be able to copy it into a word document. Control A doesn't work and neither does holding the mouse down and trying to copy it all.
Thanks.

This doesn't work for me. CTRL-A only goes back so many pages. If the chat is 10's of pages this doesn't work.
Microsoft please please provide ability to export.
This is basic stuff really!
I just want to point out that people seem to be referring to different scenarios in this thread. Specifically I'm looking for a feature where you can export or at minimum select all of the chat and copy / paste. This would be for a meeting that is NOT within a TEAMs channel (which is very common). I tried to click on the link to "upvote" the suggestion but I get a 404 error (does MS think they have fixed this?).
Our organization's IT policies do not record / store conversations (I won't go into the reasons) so I'm asking if this is part of the issue?
Honestly, I'm shocked that something so basic has not yet been addressed.
Go here and vote to add this feature:

You can paste the copied text as plain text. This way the emoticons won't show up.

Hi AbigailEEC,
My name is Didi, an Independent Advisor.
We can use the Content Search eDiscovery tool in the compliance center in Office 365 or Microsoft 365 to search for in-place items such as instant messaging conversations, email, and documents in our organization.
You may contact your Office 365 admin to help you export them.
