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

One thing that pisses me off the most is 85% of all the answers offered on this "official Microsoft Forum" don't solve the issue, don't address the issue or seem to be easy answers "to get rid of the bothersome consumer"

There are a lot of UX issues that Microsoft just doesn't address. Some issues I've found that are 10 years old. Either they are incompetent fools that don't know how to get constructive feedback from their user base, or, they simply don't care. I have a hard time believing they are that incompetent.

At home, OF COURSE I don't use Microsoft Office. Office makes me miserable (I'm not sure if VSC is part of Office. I will admit I was pretty impressed by VSC). There are so many unpolished and unstandatdized details throughout the whole Office suit... It's like trying to drive at 100k/h with square wheels.

Where I DON'T have a choice to use Office is at work. MS Office is unfortunately one of the most widespread business standards in the world. And Microsoft knows this. If you can't conform to it's subpar experience and performance, you're condemned to suffering it day in and day out.

You know... I imagine the Microsoft Office team thinking: "there's nothing wrong with Office". Which leads to the adage : "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"... But I hate this adage.

Here's my version : "If it ain't broke, make it better."

And most probably, this is just another lost rant from just another disgruntled user...

Hi Cr8zy_Ivan,

While we may have different preferences and opinions, we should respect the efforts of software developers to create solutions for various needs. Most of the people who answer questions on this forum are not affiliated with Microsoft, but they are willing to share their knowledge and experience. If you have a business 365 subscription, you can also contact Microsoft directly for technical support.

One way to copy text in Teams is to highlight it and press Ctrl + C, then paste it wherever you want. This is a simple and effective workaround. 😊

If you are curious about how Teams works online, you can open it and press F12 to see the code behind it. You will be amazed by the complexity and sophistication of this app, as well as the other parts of 365.

There are at times we all can't get our computers working the way they should and look for the nearest window for them, I would try and help you or anyone else if I can as we all like to have an error free computer/ software.

cheers Bryce.

EDIT: This version now works with only copying the text you want.

You have Microsoft Teams Version 1.6.00.13566 (64-bit). It was last updated on 8/06/2023. (Using Windows 10)

This version still doesn't work

You have Microsoft Teams Version 1.6.00.12455 (64-bit). It was last updated on 9/06/2023. (Using Windows 11)

This version works

Opening the Personal Teams from the Business, the highlighted text, right click works as well (Using Windows 11)

You have Microsoft Teams version 23091.410.2053.8773. You've got the latest version. It was last updated on 10/06/2023.

No, and Microsoft can't care less. I'm being so disappointed with Microsoft lately and whoever is the person there responsible for User Experience. This guy should really be fired. If Apple were not so selfish/crappy I would had switched to Apple already...

This guy Benedik Vojtěch looks like he left Microsoft as this comment he placed here was the only one he ever made.

Maybe I'll start using Chromebooks now on lol

Hi Diogo,

Should you still have some issues, please follow below:

To be able to copy Teams message without timestamp and sender information, all you have to do is to NOT use double click of mouse to select the text you want to copy, neither Ctrl+A.

Just use mouse cursor to select a text you wish to copy, once highlighted, press Ctrl+C and paste with standard Ctrl+V.

Microsoft Teams Version 1.6.00.12455 (64-bit).

:-)

Should you be interested in working at Microsoft and shaping its user experience depertment, please have a look at opportunities here:

https://careers.microsoft.com/v2/global/en/home.html I am sure that applying to any job offer in the link above, will increase chances to improve Microsoft more than complaining in this forum to a guy who doesn't work at Microsoft, neither has or had any professional link to that company.

I believe that Microsoft users would appreciate if you switch to Apple and join their herd, leaving this forum non-toxic.

Wish you a happy day and a format free copy-paste function.
