unable to open saved chat files (.txt)

Hi!

I'm running MacOS Ventura 13.3.1 on an M1 MacBook Pro. TextEdit, which is the basic word processing application that comes pre-installed with every Mac, now won't open ANY .txt files from Zoom chats which are automatically saved on my HD. Any workarounds?

 

TIA.

      I am also having this problem. Were you able to find a solution? I found a workaround to open the file in terminal or to view the file from my phone or iPad and copy the text. But it also doesn't seem to save everything that is in the chat properly. Anyone know what's going on all of a sudden?

      I've resorted to

      1. Previewing the .txt file 

      2. Selecting and copying all the content

      3. Pasting it into a Pages document.

       

      It's cumbersome, but it works.

      Ah. Thanks. Yeah. That's what I've been doing as well. But for some reason, the file isn't saved properly. Like, some of the text is missing from the chat. It's weird.
