Export Microsoft Teams chat messages, files, images and emoji reactions to CSV or HTML. Scrolls the full chat history automatically for a complete backup and archive, with attachments bundled as a single ZIP.
Teams Message Extractor automatically scrolls through your full conversation history, from the very first message to the latest, and exports everything to a clean, structured CSV file or a self-contained HTML transcript. File attachments download as one ZIP archive instead of dozens of save prompts. Works with direct messages, group chats, and channels across all three Teams domains (teams.microsoft.com, teams.live.com, teams.cloud.microsoft).
What's new in 2.9.0
New
channel (Posts) extraction. Threaded channel conversations export with every nested reply, subject line and thread structure included.
New Markdown export, ideal for pasting into notes, wikis or AI tools.
CSV export now opens correctly in Excel. Accented and international characters (é, ã, ü, ç) are no longer garbled.
Pasted images and screenshots are now captured reliably, including on the new teams.cloud.microsoft layout where many were previously missed.
Screenshots are embedded directly in the HTML transcript, so images appear in the export itself rather than as links.
Attachments save as the exact original file at original quality, with no recompression.
What gets captured
Sender names & timestamps
Full message content
Emoji reactions (per message, with counts)
File attachments, images, and their URLs
Complete conversation threads

Common questions
Do I need admin rights or IT approval?
No. It runs entirely in your own browser against the Teams page you already have open, using your existing sign-in. There is nothing to install server-side and no tenant configuration.
Does my data leave my computer?
Never. Extraction, formatting and file generation all happen locally in your browser. There are no third-party servers, no analytics and no trackers in the extension.
Does it export channel posts and threads, not just chats?
Yes. It walks a channel's Posts feed thread by thread and captures every nested reply, even in threads with thousands of replies — including the subject line and thread structure.
Does it work behind my company's security proxy?
Yes. Proxied Teams domains such as Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps (MCAS) are supported, and any other hostname-rewriting proxy works via a one-click fallback.
What does it cost?
It is free today. A paid Pro tier for power features is planned; existing users keep everything they have and get an early supporter discount — see the Paid Model FAQ.
