Hi @PrashanthKasula There is a past post in this community that may help address your request: Migrate chat history Teams - Microsoft Tech Community

Sharegate as mentioned in the referred article

Either one of these should be able to do what you need.

@PrashanthKasula 

Sure I understand. 

Not AFAIK, I mean I have been migrating Exchange and SharePoint more than 10 years, for example when mailbox migrations used to manual and required physical migration of PST files over SFTP servers, doing exmerge and the like: I can honestly say having personally moved about 1/2 million users to 365 in my career that a migration tool is necessary to automate the process, ensure the fidelity of the migration, but also support in case anything goes wrong with the tool. Migration tools are quite well known for having errors. 

I hope you find something out there, or somebody else suggests something which fits your needs, however I would go back to the clients and say that is the price for ensuring that the data is safely moved over without issue, a proven tool with hundreds or thousands of migrations already conducted. 

Best, Chris

I would recommend Apps4Pro Migration Manager to migrate Teams chats. This is the only migration app which does real migration of chats (not conversation history folder alone, users can see the chats in Teams post migration).

Will the migrated chat appear on the destination as READ or UNREAD message?@Santhosh Balakrishnan

@VivekPrabhu The messages will appear as UNREAD in the target.

If you are seeking to know Microsoft Teams Migration Tool. Then, here are the two methods to do it : manual & automated methods. Through these two methods users can easily and quickly get the solution for their problems without installing any other tool.

Kernel Microsoft Teams Migration is another excellent tool one can use to migrate Microsoft Teams chat history. The tool provides the most user friendly interface to perform tenant to tenant migration.

I highly recommend using Altosio for migrating private chats and direct messages between Teams. This is the only solution of the market that does not require the end user intervention or them entering their password. The migration is seamless without the hassle of the end-users.

@PrashanthKasula Exporting the Teams chat messages as HTML / Excel does not help end user to find their messages. Migration is complete and perfect when the messages appear in target tenant Teams. Apps4.Pro Migration Manager is the only solution in the market that does this.
