Zoom chat history stopped saving in Ubuntu

I’ve noticed that Zoom chat history is no longer being stored locally on my system. This feature has been working reliably for years, but for about a month now, no chat history is saved. Previously, the chat files would appear under ~/Documents/Zoom, but no new folders are being created, and the history is missing.

I’m experiencing this issue on two separate laptops, both running Ubuntu 22.04. This is a significant concern for me, as I rely on the chat history to grade student participation in my classes. I only realized the issue after my first class, and I’m hoping it can be resolved before my next class on Thursday.

Thank you for your assistance!
