Get a step-by-step look at migrating Teams Private Chats to a new Microsoft 365 tenant.

Microsoft Teams private chats can contain years of important business conversations, project decisions, and institutional knowledge. During a tenant-to-tenant migration, preserving that history can be one of the more challenging parts of the project.

MigrationWiz now makes it easier with Teams Private Chat Migration, and migration expert Mark Rochester, “The Cloud Geezer,” is here to show you exactly how it works.

In his latest technical How-To video, Mark walks MigrationWiz users through the process of migrating 1:1 chats, group chats, and meeting chats to a destination Microsoft 365 tenant.

Go Beyond Mailboxes and Documents

A successful Microsoft 365 migration involves more than moving mailboxes and files. Users also depend on the conversations and collaboration history stored in Teams.

With Teams Private Chat Migration, MigrationWiz helps organizations extend their migration strategy to this important source of business information.

The User Migration Bundle can help simplify the migration process by bringing together multiple user workloads. In addition to migrating users’ documents, organizations can use the bundle to support Teams Private Chat migration, including chat history archives and rehydrated conversations in the destination tenant.

This gives MSPs and IT teams another way to approach migrations through a repeatable workflow rather than managing each workload through disconnected processes.
