Why in Teams you are unable to copy the time stamp and name of the person anymore.

Pressing Ctrl + C only lets you copy the conversation. I cannot give specific examples because my work is confidential but. This is the reddit post that is talking about the issue I am talking about. Copying Sender Information No Longer a Thing? : r/MicrosoftTeams (reddit.com)

    Dumbest change on the planet. Original requester clearly not an IT frontline worker or understands the impacts to frontline workers. In an age when MS pushes hard for Teams adoption as a collaboration platform, when everything from projects to support is managed through teams, and logs for documentation are a thing, this should never have been implemented without fully understanding the impacts. Total lack of validation continues to be a MS thing, and they really need to pull their heads out. What you should have done MS is implemented a feature change for both options before killing the one then telling us to wait for a future update to add back what was already there. Yea that's logical. This is not proper project scoping and says volumes about your complete lack of understanding the impacts on your customers before implementing change or it simply says you are clueless when it comes to change management. In the meantime, capturing these conversations have to be done the old more cumbersome fashioned way through screenshots. Brilliant move. Simply roll it back then implement a feature change that provides the option for both. This is not rocket science, and it removes more and more confidence in the PGs at MS day by day.

    Another vote. I do tech support and often copy Teams chat into my ticket work notes.

    Not having usernames and timestamps is brutal!

    Please fix this ASAP!

    Zuners man. Why randomly remove useful features when you can just add a toggle to turn them off and on?

    This is not a great option though because if you use this work around it makes the copy/paste all jumbled up when copying an chunk of the thread/conversation back and forth. So when using this copy/paste work around, you would have to only copy/paste each chat individually one and a time. Microsoft, please fix this!
