    Thank you for the suggestion. I don't have Power Toys Extractor. I guess I can ask at work, but they are hesitant to install extras.

    LOL this still doesn't work in April 2025. I believe this issue has been around for couple of years now and MS is notoriously ignoring this. Unbelievable.

    only way i've found is to go to Teams in a web browser and copy from there (using that terrible workaround) -- and, that quit working for a while yesterday, but then it started working again - not sure what MS is doing, but ...

    As of the latest update, 'holding the mouse while using shortcuts to copy' no longer works. Is there another way now to include the time stamps?

    Not a workaround that is practical for me. I have several hundred messages to copy and paste each call. Microsoft just needs to provide an automatic export of the chat data like Zoom did 10+ years ago. I would settle for anything at this point, Copy Paste or a simple export option but considering they are 10 years behind Zoom is a very bad look.
