Emaki guide

How to screenshot a long Microsoft Teams chat

Open Teams on the web at teams.microsoft.com in Chrome and use Emaki, a free Chrome extension. Choose Scrolling area, click the messages and press Capture the whole area. Emaki loads earlier messages first, then scrolls the chat from the first message down and stitches it into one tall image. It works in Teams in the browser, not in the desktop app.

Teams' messages scroll inside the page and older ones load only as you scroll up, so ordinary full page screenshot tools capture one screen. Emaki scrolls the chat up until no older messages load, then captures all of it.

Step by step

Screenshot a long Microsoft Teams chat or channel

  1. Open Teams in Chrome

    Add Emaki from the Chrome Web Store, then sign in at teams.microsoft.com in Chrome and open the chat or channel conversation.

  2. Pick the message list

    Click the Emaki icon in the toolbar to open the side panel. Choose Scrolling area, then click anywhere in the messages.

  3. Press Capture the whole area

    With Load earlier messages first on in Capture settings (it is by default), Emaki scrolls up until no older messages load, then scrolls down to the newest and stitches every shot into one image. Press Stop here while it's loading to start from what has loaded.

  4. Save or edit it

    Click Download to save the capture as a PNG, or Edit to save it as a JPG or PDF. With Emaki Pro, the editor also crops it, adds arrows, boxes or text, or blurs private details first.

  • Turn off Load earlier messages first in Capture settings to capture only the messages already loaded. If a chat doesn't load more as Emaki scrolls up, scroll up to the first message you want yourself, then capture.
  • Emaki captures what Teams shows, so open collapsed replies in a channel before you capture.
  • Free captures are up to 150 shots long. Emaki Pro goes up to 1000.
FAQ

Questions and answers

Can I capture the Teams desktop app?

No. Emaki is a browser extension, so it captures Teams on the web in Chrome or Edge. Open teams.microsoft.com in the browser to capture a chat.

Can I hide names before I share it?

Yes, with Emaki Pro ($10/month or $100/year). The editor's blur tool hides names, emails and numbers. The free plan saves the capture as a PNG, JPG or PDF, without editing.

Does Emaki upload my chat?

No. Screenshots and page content are processed on your computer and never uploaded. The only exceptions are ones you choose: an AI edit on Pro + AI sends just the image or area you're editing to Google's Gemini API, and a Pro share link uploads that one capture until the link expires.
