Is there Microsoft documentation around meeting chat history not channel meetings? Looking for information on where that chat history is stored, retention options, ability to delete meeting chat history if someone requests it, etc.

I’ve found plenty of documentation on 1v1 chat and channel chat, but nothing on meeting chat. In order to better explain to end users how to leverage meeting history, it is important to understand the backend administration. I hesitate to create materials based on technical assumptions nothing ever goes wrong with that! Shannon Duffy Yeah, add me in the same boat. I’d definitely like to see more documentation around how Teams meetings chats are handled when it comes to retention policies.

Some more clarity would be helpful. JackBurt0n The answer is that it depends. If you create a meeting from a channel then the chat in that meeting is a thread in your channel and has the same expiry as any over channel conversation. If you create a meeting that isn’t in a channel then it’s a chat, and will have the same retention that you define for chats. Steven Collier Thank you! Been looking all over the documentation for a clear answer on that. Just trying to assuage some C-level fears.

Just like a chat, the messages will go but the conversation will still exist in the meeting. It will age out of your chat list after 30 days. There is a new feature coming soon that will let a meeting organiser define if chat is available after a meeting ends, look in the message centre at MC Steven Collier thanks for the two quick replies, Steven. This is immensely helpful. Appreciate the information! Steven Collier Thanks so much for the information! The chat situation in Teams is becoming a bit clearer with time and this simple clarification helps tremendously!

Shannon Duffy In our testing we did find that the chat history in a meeting non-channel follows chat retention. We also submitted a ticket with Microsoft to get confirmation on this and they confirmed as well. Steven Collier How can users clean up their chat lists so that old meeting chats that are no longer needed disappear?

Is the retention the only solution via system admin? Or can the user organize their own chat window to some extent? I have tried leaving the chat but the chat remains in the list. I have 10, sometimes 15 meetings a day and the meeting chats are clogging up my chat list with individuals and groups.

Any help would be appreciated. I also pin key conversations I don’t want to age to the top of the list, then they are always there in the same order.

– How to Disable Chat in Zoom

Zoom participants are unable to copy messages sent using the chat function in Zoom and cannot save the chat transcript. Zoom Rooms can view in-meeting public chat messages.

The chat feature in Zoom Rooms is view only. To send chat messages, you will need to join the meeting from a computer or mobile device. Zoom allows you to recover a recording within 30 days of deletion. If you delete the recording from the trash or if the recording is in the trash for 30 days; it will be permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. The private chat feature allows participants to send private messages to other participants while in a meeting.

Private messages between participants are not viewable by the host. In-meeting chat can be saved manually or automatically to your desktop computer, as well as automatically with a cloud recording. The Auto Saving Chats setting will automatically save your in-meeting chats locally on your computer for meetings you host, or you can manually save your chat transcript.

To generate a transcript, start a cloud recording. After the meeting ends, you will receive an email that lets you know that your cloud recording is available.
