How to copy teams chat with Timestamp?

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.

    I have resorted to using Copilot to OCR MS Teams chat conversations.

    I think Microsoft clearly wants us to use the processing power of their data centers in order to copy text from MS Teams :D

    How do I tell?

    I'm running Windows 11 (with the butchered and down-powered taskbar). No idea what version of Teams, and I've not yet found where that's kept.

    I just rechecked. I love Microsoft Products:

    Version

    Sie verfügen über die Microsoft Teams-Version 25044.2208.3471.2155. Sie haben die neueste Version. Es wurde zuletzt am 28.3.2025 überprüft.

    Looks like your newest version is not my newest version
