How to save Zoom chats with rich text?

[thecynicalmonk]

Hi everyone

I am a teacher and I do a lot of online classes. I find it useful to send my students a copy of the Zoom chat at the end of each class by email. The chats are automatically saved into a folder in Windows 11 when I finish each session, as a .txt file.

Here's the thing: When I am using the chat in the session, I can edit the text to include (for example) bold text, italics, and crossings out. But when the text file is saved, all those rich text aspects disappear. This is frustrating.

Does anyone know how to make Zoom save the chat files in (for example) .docx format instead of .txt so that the rich text is preserved?

Thanks!
