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.

    I feel like the solution here is for someone to take this on as a coding challenge:

    1. Find out where the content is stored. (It has to be somewhere!)
    2. Copy to a download file or the clipboard.

    Any takers?

    Hmmm...

    Maybe it's simpler because I'm on a Mac.

    1. Select the pieces of the chat you want to capture
    2. Copy
    3. Paste into wherever

    I can do that much as well, but I would like to download the entire chat it as if it were a meeting transcript. The resulting format of cutting and pasting from chat is just dreadful.

    Microsoft PLEASE sort this out - tried all the suggestions so far, but experiencing the same issues as everyone else. It shouldn't be this difficult!

    Hi Abigail,
    I had the same issue.
    I clicked the Pop out chat button and the chat dialogue box opened, and Ctrl + A didn't work.

    But I played around a bit and found a workaround.

    In the chat dialogue box, click the pencil icon, to the right of the names of the people in the chat.

    The Group name dialogue box is displayed.
    Click the Cancel button.
    Press **Ctrl + A (**it now works!). All of the text in the chat string is selected!!!
