How do you copy Teams message without time and sender information?

Anonymous

I want to triple-click a message, copy it to the clipboard, then paste it in whichever application, and I don't want to see the header (time and sender information).

Yes, it is possible to carefully select parts of a message, and make sure you don't snag the beginning or end of the message so you don't "grab" the header. This is not what I'm looking for. I want a one-click-solution.

I found this post dating from 2013, about Skype/Lync. I'm looking for the same thing in Teams.

    Has there been any progress on this moronic implementation?

    It's completely stupid for the following reasons:

    • We use teams to share some little code snippets here and there
    • We quickly share quotes for tasks

    And every time I have to format the bloody thing before sending it off. And - in some cases - I forget that there's even a timestamp when I'm throwing something into a terminal.

    MS has had this habit of destroying flow. From the insane level of feedback requests to these dumb implementations that don't serve anyone. When will anyone need to share a time stamp with my name on it?

    Who was the big brain that thought this was a feature? It is like Microsoft has no idea how their customers actually use their product. In what situation is automatically time stamping and quoting on Microsoft teams actually useful? In the rare circumstance where we actually need the time stamp and name there is always the search feature. Meanwhile I have never had a task where I actually needed, let alone wanted the quote and timestamp 'feature'.
