Copying and exporting chat from Zoom

Solution 1:

Adapting the answer by @MinseonShin. If the host of the meeting allows it, you can save the chat by clicking in the Zoom chat window the "..." icon, then "Save Chat", otherwise it seems not be possible. Then you should see a link to "Show in Folder".

If that doesn't work, the path in my case is ~/Document/Zoom/<date+someinfo>/, for @MinseonShin it was because of using snap ~/snap/zoom-client/<something>/Documents/Zoom/<date+someinfo>/ where something was 166 or 167.

If your installation is different, you find about the path as follows: you start a meeting (eg. using the personal meeting id) and record the meeting to your computer (not on the cloud), and then save recording and stop it. Now under Zoom > meetings > recorded you can find that recorded meeting. If you open it it opens a folder with that particular meeting. The meeting with the chat will not appear in the list of recorded meetings (unless you recorded it as well), but if you go up one directory you see all recorded meetings including the one where you saved the chat.
