I am not able to copy and paste Teams message with Time and sender name

Well, not exactly like before, like Sawyer-855 pointed out. It grabs more extra stuff that has to be cleaned up.

I did find that if you just need one message with the sender and timestamp, clicking Forward under the three dot menu for the post pops up a box that allows easy copying of the text with the name and time info.

Still MS needs to fix this and make it like nearly every other app out there, allow everything to be selected and then copy what is selected. If only the text is selected, only copy the text. If the sender and time are also selected, copy it all. And don't magically include what you think we might want. We know what we want.

Dear Rahul,

Good day!

Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are glad to assist!

Based on your description regarding "I am not able to copy and paste Teams message with Time and sender name". My sincerest apologies for the inconvenience this might be causing you, after thorough testing, I got same situation as you. The Workaround I found is to hold mouse for selecting the message with Time and sender you want then use CTRL+C for copy and CTRL+V for paste. Therefore, I will update this thread as soon as I get more detail information about the query and fix.

Also, if you have the organization admin permission, you can also raise a service request to report this symptom to our online channel through the O365 admin center. A support agent can further connect with you remotely, for further troubleshooting and involve the backend team where need be. Get support for Microsoft 365 for business -- Online support. I will also revert back when I get more info on this. Your patience and cooperation are much appreciated. Have a nice day!

Do you know when this issue will be fixed?

The workaround is cumbersome, since it means you can only copy/paste one message at a time, not a group of messages, unless you plan to do a ton of editing of the pasted information.

Thanks

Same here - CTRL-C and CTRL-V used to work but no longer work
