Hi Charles,

You can access Google Takeout here:
https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout

You should see a list of all the Google services you have data on. You can
deselect all, select Google Chat, and then follow the next steps to create
an export. You can either do a one-time export, or schedule an export every
2 months for 1 year.

Hope this helps,
Kevin Payravi
