    The workaround quit working in the desktop app for me 2025-02-21 ~1310CT. I did find that I could open Teams in a web browser (using Opera for this) - and, am still able to use the terrible copy trick from there in order to get the information I need. Even after a desktop app restart and a computer restart, the copy trick is no longer working in the desktop version.

    It "works" but it doesn't work. Still doesn't copy usernames and when there is a reaction to a comment in some cases the emoji pastes about a hundred times, one per line so it takes up a page and a half. We're going to leave for Google or Zoom if Microsoft does not fix.

    As of today, even this unwieldy solution (holding down mouse, while selecting change and CTRL-C) no longer works. UGH!!!!

    It's 2025 now and we're still dealing with this issue!? I'm going to bring up to senior management that this bug, and the lack of response from Microsoft, should be all we need to start looking at alternatives to Teams.
