Powerful Features

Everything you need to backup your Teams conversations

Automatic Scrolling

Scrolls through supported Teams histories and extracts visible messages without manual copying.

PDF, HTML & TXT Export

Download individual backups from the Viewer as a styled PDF, self-contained HTML page, or searchable TXT transcript.

Local Viewer & Checkpoints

Browse saved conversations offline and keep recoverable checkpoints during long-running backups.

Chats, Channels & Replies

Back up direct chats, group chats, channel posts, and nested replies with author and timestamp context.

Real-Time Progress

Visual progress indicators keep you informed about the backup process stages.

Secure Local Processing

The extension uses temporary active-tab access, so it can read Teams only after you click it. Download access is requested only when needed.

How It Works

Get started in minutes with our simple process

1

Install the Extension

Add Teams Chat Backup to your Chrome browser from the Chrome Web Store. Installation takes just seconds.

2

Open Teams in Chrome

Sign in to Microsoft Teams on the web and open the chat or channel you want to preserve.

3

Start the Backup

Click the extension, choose one or more available conversations, and start the automatic history scan. Long Chat Mode is available for older histories.

4

Review and Export

Open the saved conversation in the local Viewer, then download PDF, HTML, or TXT. Pro users can export all backups as ZIP.

No Extra Sign-In Required

The extension uses your existing Teams browser session.

The extension does not ask for a Google account or collect your email address. It reads only the Teams web page you authorize by clicking the extension, then stores the backup in your browser.

Extension License ID

Generated locally and synced through Chrome when available for Pro upgrade and restore

Microsoft Account

The account you're logged into Teams with in your browser

What this means:

Keep Teams open in Chrome, click Teams Chat Backup, and select a conversation. Upgrade or Restore may contact RevenueCat using the extension's License ID; no chat content is included in that request.

Your Microsoft account remains managed by Teams, not by this extension.
