Extract direct messages in Teams

[TimWe86]

Good morning all,

I used the Compliance Contentsearch to extract my 1:1 chats in Teams for a research project. However, since the change to the new admin center, I can’t figure out how to repeat this step.

The output should be a list containing Sender, Recipient, Date & Time, where I’m either the sender or the recipient of a message in Teams for a specific timeframe (e.g., one week). I would use the message trace in outlook (Admin Exchange) for mails, which works fine.

I appreciate your help!

Hello, you should be good by using "Type" and then "Instant Message" when specifying the search conditions.

The UI of the admin portal was changed but the Content Search still the same. if you go to this portal https://compliance.microsoft.com/contentsearch and select "+New search" you will notice the Search query page matches the one in the old Security & Compliance center (see attached image, might need to download if preview doesn't work).
