Can an Admin User access deleted Zoom chats, or is that something only the Owner can see?

Hi utsurgical,

Thank you for dropping your inquiry here at the Zoom Community page! There's this setting in the admin portal "Store edited and deleted message revisions" for Zoom Team Chat. You need to have this option to save edited/deleted messages enabled. However, enabling it after the fact will not 'restore' data.
