    Hi @hfddjkk ,

    You can access it later if it was saved during the meeting, 

    • In-meeting chats  can be saved locally to  computer or the Zoom Cloud either manually or automatically using the Zoom desktop client.
    • If you save the chat locally to your computer, it will save any chats that you can see—those sent directly to you and those sent to everyone in the meeting or webinar.
    • If you save the chat to the cloud, it will only save chats that were sent to everyone and messages sent while you were cloud recording.

     

    Note : 

    Saving to the cloud requires Licensed user with cloud recording enabled

    Saving locally requires this setting to be enabled by the host << Allow users to save chats from the meeting >> :  check screenshot 1 attached

     

    This support article has all details, here

     

    Hope that helps and please make sure to mark the solution as accepted if this information is what you needed.

    i tried saving the chat during the meeting, but it only saved a portion. Do you have to save only at the instant the meeting is about to end?

    The issue is that someone that enters a meeting in which there were chat posts cannot see the posts made prior to their having joined the meeting.
