in Teams chat how to save several messages

Hi @Mark Wheatley,

Good day and thank you for detailing your issue so clearly.

At this time, Teams allows you to save several individual messages, but it does not support saving multiple messages at once.

The current work process is:

1. In Teams, hover over a message.
2. Select More options (… ) > Save this message.
3. Repeat this for each message you want to include.

All saved items appear under Saved at the top of your chat list. From there, you can open each message in its original context and copy the content to combine it into a single email in Outlook.

The same limitation applies to the Share to Outlook feature, you can only share one message at a time, or share an entire channel conversation from Teams to Outlook.

Hover over a channel post or a specific message in a post.

1. Select More options(...)> Share to Outlook
2. Choose your recipient(s). You can also select from custom options, edit the subject line, and add attachments.
3. Select Send to share your channel conversation. If you share a post, this sends the entire conversation history.

Teams does not support saving multiple chat messages as a single “saved item,” but there are two built-in ways to collect several messages and then send them via Outlook:

1. Forward multiple messages inside Teams, then share to Outlook
   1. In the chat, hover over a message you want to include.
   2. Select More options (⋯) > Forward.
   3. Choose Multiple messages.
   4. Select the check boxes for up to five messages you want to include, then select Next.
   5. In the window that appears, choose the person, group chat, or channel to forward to, and optionally add context.
   6. Select Forward.
   7. Open the new forwarded message (now containing the bundled messages).
   8. Hover over that forwarded message and select More options > Share to Outlook.
   9. Choose recipients and send from Outlook.
2. Share a single message or conversation directly to Outlook
   • If the content you need is already in one message or a channel conversation, hover over it and select More options > Share to Outlook, then choose recipients and send. (For channel posts, this sends the entire conversation history of that post.)

Notes:

• Forwarding supports up to five messages at a time; Teams bundles them into one message so recipients can follow the conversation more easily.
• Share to Outlook is not supported on mobile; use the desktop or web client.
