One of my customers has drunk the Microsoft Koolaid and gone to Office365. What a steaming pile of elephants.
So with distributed development these days and with the manta of Microsoft products, we have to use Teams for chats and what not.
I need to capture a chat session. All I want to do is save the entire chat session. It's not supported in any reasonable fashion. If you go out to their support sites, you are told you can cut/paste (for a 6 month chat?) or screen capture (seriously?). People have been screaming for this for over 2 years.
Maybe someone on CP knows how to do this? Right now, I've learned that I'm supposed to be able to go out to the export section if it's enabled... no joy yet.

I hear your pain and have never figured that out either. I don't believe it's possible.

Your MS Teams Admins can do this not end users. Microsoft has mentioned in many community forums/threads that they have no intention of making an "export" feature available to the end user.
I feel it is my duty to remind all Teams users, especially those in corporate settings, that EVERYTHING you do in Teams is recorded on the servers and can be used against you in every imaginable way...even if you delete the message, it has already been recorded as soon as you sent it.

It monitors your activity (key strokes and mouse movements) as well.

that's just gross. I suspect that not many people realize that...

I know the admins can do that, but frankly, it's stupid. It makes the chat process useless. Begs the question why they still let us use a local .PST file for mail.
Just a shade under automatically rebooting your machine.

Our CIO hates it, prefers Zoom. Everyone else in IT prefers Teams. I rarely have a need to export a chat session, so I don't miss that feature. However, they could vastly improve the search function.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Searching for Teams in MS's Graph Explorer shows two entries, "Microsoft Teams" and "Microsoft Teams (beta)" (you may have to login first). I don't see anything promising under the first entry, but under beta, there's items such as "Get messages in a channel", "Get messages in a channel" and "Get replies to a message in channel".
If it's functional at all, it looks like it's possible...but you'll have to build it yourself. This is as far as I've taken it. I haven't looked into how to get the IDs it needs as params.
[Edit]
There's a "Get list members of a chat", which tells you it needs a chat ID, and also shows a link to get a list of chat IDs ("Get https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/chats/"). Running that seems to have returned a list of chats I've had with other people. Using date/time stamps, you should be able to find the chat ID you're looking for, and from there, I would imagine, find another API that takes in the chat ID.
Good luck...the fact that you can get the data piecemeal as JSON strings sounds intriguing to me. You may have a differing opinion.

record the session in a video?
You can't copy+paste parts of it, but you can at least re-read it offline, or use screenshots to make a pdf of it or try to OCR them

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

I saw one group session turn on something called a transcript mode.
I'm sure there are a zillion ways of working around something this stupid, but most of us just use some other tool.

I really miss the old lync/Skype feature that would archive all chat logs into a folder in your email called “Conversation History”. That folder followed normal email retention policy. This would let you forward it to someone else.

You! 
Not at you - I have been trying to remember the application where I could see a conversation or download the entire thing - and it was Skype. It's been like 2+ years since my client drank the Koolaid without thinking. Having done it in the past was tickling my brain. Yesterday, I was out in Outlook web interface searching for that feature. Of course, it's not there for Teams.
Yeah, my blood pressure just went up again.

I have wanted to do this - when I last looked, there was no way for it to be done. Even Lotus Sametime had the ability to copy / paste.
