This sounds like the terrible Google Meet in-call messaging that is ephemeral. It'd be really nice if it were possible to just stick it as a thread in an existing space instead of making it go away so easily when all participants are part of the same workspace.

The Direct Message chats it opens for meetings are also terrible: no thread support and cannot be converted to their own spaces. So the conversation *also* gets stuck in a purgatory. But at least search can find it again.

Actually they changed the Google Meet one now so it turns into a Google Chat channel you can refer to afterwards.

It's definitely not automatic at least. Or we haven't gotten the rollout applied.

Does it capture all chat or just what the person doing the conversion has in their history (because when the network drops, I tend to lose the chat history too)?
