Recovering chat from zoom that I hosted

I hosted a zoom meeting recently and (stupidly) did not manually save the chat prior to closing the meeting. For many recent webinars, the chat automatically popped up in a folder when the meeting closed - but that didn't happen this time. Is there a way to recover the chat from this meeting that I was host of? I do not think that the autosave feature was turned on. I did check my documents/zoom folder on my computer and it is not there (though several other chats are!).

    Unfortunately, in-meeting chat data is not backed up automatically by Zoom. If it is not saved in your Documents folder, then it is not available to recover.

    Bort - has this been logged as a user request? Is there potential for it to be added to the product roadmap?

    Can you pls provide this facility ?

    Chat also should be saved along with audio and video when it is saved locally.
