Copy a Microsoft Teams channel chat to another Microsoft Teams channel conversation
Avinash_Damera the process is going to be a chore, but you can use multi-channel posts as a workaround: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/cross-post-a-channel-conversation-in-teams-9c1252a3-67ef-498e-a7c1-dd7147b3d295
Just edit any post you need to copy and include the target channel, then remove the original one.

I just ran into an unexpected problem with this approach. The https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/cross-post-a-channel-conversation-in-teams-9c1252a3-67ef-498e-a7c1-dd7147b3d295 states that when editing a cross-post message that "you can remove channels from the list" - but fails to say that it is not possible to remove it from the original channel in which the message was posted.
The screen-shot below shows that I can add new channels and remove the message from the "Internal IT" private channel and/or the non-private "Test channel", but I cannot remove it from the "General" channel.
This limitation seems to make it impossible to actually move a message from one place to another.
Any ideas?
If I edit the message from one of the other channels then I can remove it from the "General" channel.
The above approach works - I just need to remember that I must be editing the message in a channel that needs to keep it so that I can drop it from the other(s).
