**Description**  
We’re currently using the Recording Archive Files Completed webhook to get a meeting’s recording files. Upon checking the chat file, private in-meeting messages are not logged and only messages sent to “everyone” are recorded. Is there a way to get all in-meeting chat messages?

Another question, how could we receive the “CHAT\_MESSAGE” file type? Does this JSON file also include private in-meeting chats?

Hi @kin.nyfulcrum  
Welcome to our Zoom Developer Forum!

> Upon checking the chat file, private in-meeting messages are not logged and only messages sent to “everyone” are recorded.

I believe this is the expected behavior and you won’t be able to receive private messages.  
Let me do some testing on my end to confirm and will come back to you

Cheers,
