Hi @So4 

Unfortunately, in-meeting chat must be saved during the live meeting. Once the meeting ends, the chats are lost and not recoverable. You might check with the host to see if they have a copy of the chat transcript . 

That´s really awful, this is a standard functionality in Microsoft Teams, I constantly lose valuable information shared during meetings because of this. I changed jobs a while ago and the lack of this feature is a nightmare, I constantly forget this doesn´t exist in Zoom. I´ll advocate internally for a change to Teams.
