Export MS Team chats

Hello,

 

I am using a trial MS Teams, free of charge account for business. There are some chats that I need to export. Doing it manually won't be possible as the chats are long. Could somebody please advise me how to do it?

 

There is a guidance that I followed - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/export-or-delete-your-teams-data-1ed6ac68-5fb4-41be-9861-1a4127fecf68 - but it did not work. It exports into an empty file. The Microsoft support team told me later on that this works only for personal accounts, not business. I called the support team and they told me they do not provide support to the users on trial. Can somebody please help me?

 

Many thanks in advance!

  • Afaik you can’t. There’s APIs to export messages via Graph but don’t think that applies to Teams free

      Correct, Teams Export API (in preview) requires one of these.
