Export to PDFTeams 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.
-
For the default Microsoft Graph API, the backup of chats started by external users is not supported, but chats started by internal users and including external users can be protected. For the Teams Export API model B, only plain text can be protected.
-
Only the default Microsoft Graph API can be used to protect Teams Chat in GCC/GCCH environment.
-
For customers using Microsoft 365 operated by 21Vianet in China, the Teams Chat backup service using the Microsoft Graph API is currently available in Cloud Backup for Microsoft 365. Due to API limitations, the backup of hosted content is not supported.
-
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.
