# How to export webinar chat history?

There are two ways to export the chat history for webinars in progress and after they’ve finished.

### From the webinar room (only for a webinar in progress)

You can easily export the chat history at any time while running a webinar. Click the gear icon in the **Chat** pod, then choose **Export history** and your preferred file format: CSV, XLS, XML (The CSV with translations option is not available at the moment.)

After a few moments, you’ll see a notice that the export has been completed. Click the Save file button to save the chat history on your computer.

### From the Manage Webinars page (after webinar)

If you don’t export the chat history during the webinar, you can when the webinar is over. Go to **[Webinars](https://app.getresponse.com/webinars/manage)**. On the Manage webinars page, hover over or click the Actions icon (vertical ellipsis). From the list, choose **Download chat.** You’ll see a pop-up with an option to download the chat. Click it and save it. This method provides only the CSV format.
