Basic functionality in TEAMS: are they missing?
Sorry, I tried to search but I didn't find satisfactory answers. Is anyone able to give me an answer on why TEAMS lacks two "elementary" features that are the basis of any software of this type (eve...
- Fair enough. Let's see if they implement a simple "download chat" feature in the future.
Hello,
- Not really in a user friendly way, but as an admin you've got the tools for it. As for copy/paste you need to "pop-out" the chat in it's own window and then ctrl + a. You can vote for this as well https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/16982542-backup-export-printing-archive-options

- Thanks for the reply.
For the search I solved (Ctrl + F) it works, although an icon would be preferable to launch the feature.
For the copy instead I communicate that "it does not work": the copy includes only what is visible on the screen and not all the chat history.- Reach out to your admin for assistance with export of chat https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/ediscovery-investigation#overview
And vote on the UV request.- If only it were that simple.
Mine is a large international organization and we do not have direct contact with the administrator but through a very complicated ticket opening system towards a first level which then forwards the request to subsequent levels (something unthinkable).
I repeat: this functionality must be made available to the end user (it cannot be reserved for administrators).
I hope Microsoft does something about it (I've seen other unanswered requests for years)
