Available in open beta: migrate messages from Microsoft Teams to Google Chat
Beginning today, we’re expanding our data migration experience to include the ability for Google Workspace admins to migrate conversations from channels in Microsoft Teams to spaces in Google Chat, making it easier for organizations to onboard and deploy Chat.
This can be done within the Admin console in a few steps:
- First, connect to your Microsoft account.
- Then, upload a CSV of the teams from where you want to migrate the messages. You can specify the source to destination identity mapping by uploading a CSV of the email ID’s from source to target.
- You can only migrate data to accounts of existing users with a user license and the Google Chat service turned on. Visit our Help Center for more details.
- Next, you’ll enter the starting date for messages to be migrated from Teams. Then you can begin your data migration.
- Finally, you’ll complete the migration by making migrated spaces, messages and related conversation data available to Google Workspace users (see our Help Center article for specific details on supported data types).
- The Chat migration tool doesn’t delete or modify existing Google Chat spaces or messages.
- You can also run a delta migration, which will migrate any messages added to Teams channels since the primary migration. Messages that are already successfully migrated are skipped.
- Once a migration is complete, you can export a report that contains detailed information regarding content that skipped, failed or had warnings during the migration.
- You can find more information in our Help Center about migrating other forms of data from different types of source accounts.
- Admins:
- To perform a migration, you must be a Workspace super admin and a Microsoft Teams Global Administrator.
- Visit the Help Center to learn more about migrating chat messages.
- This feature is available now.
- Available for all Google Workspace customers
