eDiscovery: How to search based on users, IMs, and Teams channels?

Hi, I need to search all Teams messages sent/received by a set of specific users. If I understand correctly, one-to-one and one-to-many messages are listed as "IM (Instant Message)" type but how do ...

Yes, this search will list all mails sent by the user (Ex: Group Conversations, Planner Comments) along with teams chat.

 

As you may know :

The actual content of Teams Channel chats are stored in the Azure Storage. In addition, Teams Channel Chats get copied to a hidden folder (\Conversation History\Team Chat) in the Exchange Online mailbox of the Office 365 Group.

 

So, technically searching mails under the hidden folder (\Conversation History\Team Chat) will return only teams messages. Not sure which tool we can use this kind of search (Content Search or eDiscovery, or some other powershell commands).

    Based on my tests, it will also include all non-Teams emails the specified users sent which means the result is no longer limited to Teams messages... I am curious if I've set the criteria incorrectly?
