Hi! thanks for your work. I want to report you that each chat with square brackets [ ] fail to export:

easy to fix, just add after line 156 : $name = $name -replace '[[]]','_'

result: image

Bye :)

Hey! Thanks for the fix, but I've pushed a slightly different fix for your issue that preserves the square brackets; the issue was an oversight on wildcard paths and just required changing parameters.

Is there a way to also embed in the chat all sent and received files ? right now in the exported html there is just the link to sharepoint.

I've glanced through the process of downloading SharePoint files and I have concluded that for the time being, I don't have the time to try and make it work.

If you're up for it, you could open an an issue/pull request and work on an implementation. Otherwise, I may try adding this later on once I get some time. Although far from ideal, another solution is simply having all of the files available separately (you should have a folder name "Microsoft Teams Chat Files" in your org's OneDrive that has your uploaded files, but do note this doesn't include files uploaded by others).
