#Teams Chat Data Types

Refer to the table below for the supported and unsupported data types of Teams chats.

Note the following:

• The Microsoft Teams Chat backup service can protect the 1:1 chats and the group chats in Teams.

• Cloud Backup for Microsoft 365 uses the Teams Export API model B for Teams Chat backup. Chats started by internal users (even including external users) can be fully protected. For chats started by external users, only plain text can be protected.

• Due to API limitations, the self chat in Teams cannot be protected.

• Due to API limitations and unique message formats, certain chat messages sent by apps within Microsoft Teams cannot be protected. Given the extensive range of apps in Teams, it is not feasible to maintain a comprehensive support list for all of them. Please be aware of this limitation and consider this aspect when integrating with various apps with Teams.
