Exporting Teams meeting chat with Content Search
I finally sorted my issue which was that I didn't have the right level of permissions to preview and export the actual results. I can do this now but I have another query.
As I want to export the chat for a normal meeting i.e. not a channel meeting I think I have to choose a user who was in the meeting as the mailbox/Teams account to search? Firstly, is this correct as this means that any private messages they happened to send while attending the meeting will also be included in the results which isn't appropriate as this export will be a record kept for other users to refer back to if required? If what I'm doing is the right way to do this does anyone know a way of excluding private messages from the search and only showing meeting-related messages? At the moment I can't see anything that differentiates them.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Thanks for the reply. After I've run the content search query I'm clicking on Export Report which gives me an Excel output similar to the below:
Should the message details also appear in this report? I'm trying to find the easiest way of providing the chat for a Teams meeting but I'm not sure if this is going to be possible at the moment?
No, if you want the actual message content, the Report wont do.

I found this link about the Teams Export APIs which sounds promising:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/export-teams-content
It looks like extra licensing is needed though so I need to put some time aside to have a good look at it to see if this could make my life a bit easier.
You can add some additional keywords to the query in order to exclude people that were not part of the meeting, and the rest you can remove manually later on. There's no good solution for addressing the "single meeting" scenario, that much is true.
