Teams Meeting Chat Log Information Location
Hi,
So obviously when someone joins a meeting in the chat of the meeting you can see person x joined the meeting. Where is this saved? Is it in the exchange mailbox for the user in the hidden folder? If it is will the Teams chat retention policy in O365 apply to this log information if not how long is it kept for?
- You can always ask Microsoft with a Service request from the admin portal. And in this case I recommend it as you then can point to an official answer.

- Hi, it’s described in detail here
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/retention-policies-teams?view=o365-worldwide#how-retention-works-with-microsoft-teamsHi ChristianBergstrom so is the actual log of the the person entering the meeting saved as part of the meeting chat message/s in the shadow Exchange mailbox? I have seen that article and cannot see that it references what I am specifically asking about the log of who is entering.
I suppose I could just try and search for it in the security and compliance centre.
Hey, tbh I only assume it’s part of the chat itself and therefore the underlying Azure-powered chat service, which when retention is used rules both locations. The data in the mailboxes only consists of the hidden folder and the famous ”substrate”. But maybe another member knows more about it and will reply.
Either way, let me know if you find out or get a different answer.
