During a Zoom meeting (before it ends)
- Click on Chat.
- At the bottom of the chat window, click on ..., then Save Chat.
This will save your chat to your local recording location. The default is your Documents folder / Zoom / Folder with meeting name, date, and time.
Enable Auto-Saving Chats
- Go to Zoom settings, https://utrgv.zoom.us/profile/setting.
- Go to the In Meeting (Basic) section (about 1/4 down the page).
- Go to Auto saving chats and click the toggle switch to on (so it is blue).
Note: Auto-saving chat will only auto-save for the host, and thus the host has to be present in the meeting for a local chat transcript to be saved.
