In order to automatically save their in-meeting and in-webinar chats, webinar hosts and panelists will be able to make a copy of the text of those chats on their computer following the start of both meetings and webinars, so they do not need to manually save the chat text after the meeting or webinar starts. In this article, you will learn how to save conversations in meetings.

The following chat transcript is a record of all the messages you were able to see during the meeting as long as you were connected to it. I am including anything that has been sent or received to you as a private message, but not anything that has been exchanged between participants.

The prerequisites for auto-saving chats are as follows:

• I have a Zoom account
• with the privilege of being an account owner/administrator
