If you save the chat locally to your computer, it will save any chats that you can see. That is, those sent directly to you and those sent to everyone in the meeting or webinar. However, if you save the chat to the cloud, it will only save chats that were sent to everyone and messages sent while you were cloud recording. To save a chat manually in Zoom, first, open the chat you want to save. Then, click on the three dots in the top right corner of the chat and select “save chat.” You can then choose to save the chat as a PDF or an HTML file. For the automatic saving of chats; hosts can automatically save all in-meeting chats so that they do not need to manually save the text of the chat after the meeting starts. Before automatically saving in-meeting chats, hosts must enable the Autosaving chats setting. See also How To Unlock Zoom Account .
