I have tried multiple times installing the latest Chrome driver , installing all the packages or using the packages from your venv and installing latest selenium and pandas but still the script doesn't scrap any messages from group chat. It gives following error
"download.default_directory": r"" + x + "\Scraped\Media",
Exception in thread Thread-1 (getChatLabels):
Traceback (most recent call last):
