Microsoft Teams Copying Name, Timestamp, and Message

Anonymous

I used to be able to copy a series of teams messages and it would include the Username, timestamp and the message, but now it only includes the message. I did not change anything about the way I'm copying. I need to be able to copy and paste this data for my work. I have already deleted the MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe file to clear cache, and I've reset and repaired the app. I have had no luck in getting this ability back. We should have the choice of including this data in clipboard or not.

Example of what it used to look like:

[Yesterday 8:15 AM] James Smith

Message

[Yesterday 8:30 AM] John White

Message

[Yesterday 9:30 AM] Jackson Taylor

Message

Example of what it looks like now:

This is very painful. Like others on this thread I have to build the chat with names and times, which takes ages. I tried using the online version as one of the posters recommended from Aug 2024 and that doesn't work either. It would be great to have this functionality back please.

Thanks.

If you share a link you're more likely to get some votes.
