Saving a Steam text chat logs
The retention period for Steam text chat is too short. Despite sometimes important interactions between me and my friends, I often overlook due to their short shelf life.
Although the following URL was taught by Steam Support, it does not solve the problem of short storage period.
https://help.steampowered.com/en/accountdata/GetFriendMessagesLog

I will give you some suggestions.
1. Increase the storage period.
2. Add new options such as periodically saving locally.

Regarding the latter in particular, please tell me if there is any tool for saving currently.

It stores 2 weeks worth of chats as described here...

CHAT HISTORY
  • Can now scroll back to load up to two weeks of chat history
  • Group chats also keep up to two weeks of chat history
  • Improved display of timestamps, which are now always enabled

https://steamcommunity.com/updates/chatupdate

And it is also storing 2 weeks worth in the place you mentioned here...

https://help.steampowered.com/en/accountdata/GetFriendMessagesLog

Copy/paste the text from that page.

Thank you for your reply.
Yeah, I already know text chat logs are stored in 2 weeks.
but only 2 weeks for me.

What I would like to ask more directly is whether there is a tool that automates and saves text chat logs.

you will likely have to write it yourself as no one really needs this because there is no point in doing this.
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

oh, thank you so much!
I'm going to check it after. Probably this is what I need!

@wuddih
Thank you for your reply.
I don't think there is no need at all.
Doesn't it prove that the existence and development of "Steam Chat Logger"?

Thank you for your reply.
oh, I see.
After all, it seems that what I posted in this thread was not completely in need.
