How to copy teams chat with Timestamp?

Anonymous

Ever since this month and while using the new team application, I can no longer copy teams chat message with the timestamp. I need the timestamp to reference conversations and it would be a pain to add the time and date stamps for every message I need to copy. Also I found that you can copy messages with a partial timestamp by highlighting the chat messages and press control c while holding the right click button on my mouse. This also doesn't help as I get a preview message with double names. It would be a pain to remove part of a line per chat message I am copying. Is there a way to restore the old copying with the timestamp and an option for those who don't want the timestamp. I know skype had this functionality.

This happens to me too.

I can reset and Repair the App. Then after the next update, it breaks. My current version: 24193.1805.3040.8975

Dear Bradley Morris27,

Good day.

After thorough research, testing from my end and consulting, it’s been concluded that currently copying and pasting from a Microsoft new Teams chat window no longer includes the sender's name and timestamp. You need to use the workaround like you suggest in your description , " I have used is to highlight your text and while holding down the left mouse button (Do not release after highlighting) press CTRL+C".

We have find similar case in our feedback portal and some users already report the issue Teams chat. copy & paste · Community (microsoft.com). Kindly upvote their request.

We apologize if we are not able to meet your requirements; however, thank you for bringing this to our attention, we will surely raise you concerns to our Product Team and hopefully this can be included in the future updates.

In the meantime, please feel free to post this in our Feedback community by visiting Microsoft Teams · Community as it is a community monitored by our Product team to help improve user experience with Teams, via feedback given by our valuable customers.

Thank you for choosing Microsoft as your partner in business.

Who in their right mind decides to remove this feature from a BUSINESS application. That literally makes no sense and serves absolutely no useful purpose except to irritate users!

Please for the love of all that's right Eben-Ezer, escalate this up until they bring back this feature!
