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

Microsoft isn't listening they don't care. They ram-rod **** like this and do not care spit about the productivity hit by doing this, as well as other unwelcome features. Windows and Teams are now and will always be a garbage product because of the elitist attitude of the engineers and developers. No one asked for this ****, so you can stop this now, Microsoft. Crickets.

its an annoying workaround, but in a pinch you can forward the message then copy the timestamp and name without issue from the forward pop out.

you'd have to do that for each individual message though.

When copying a conversation from a messaging application it is only logical to include the time signatures and names of the messengers.

It seems an unusual requirement to not include these elements.

Please reinforce with Microsoft the need to return this functionality as the default setting for Teams and add the stripped-down, content-only/context-less version as an option in settings.

• What is the final verdict on this ?
• Why cant we have both options ?
• Most of the users and most often than not obviously prefer the name and time stamp be part of chat being copied for obvious reasons.
• PLEASE BRING BACK THIS FEATURE .

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)

This feature is incredibly helpful for many of us, Microsoft Teams users—and even more so for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. The ability to copy conversations allows them to revisit and fully understand the discussion in written form. In fact, this functionality should not only be preserved but enhanced. Ideally, Teams should also offer the option to save the entire conversation once it ends, making communication more inclusive and accessible for everyone.

Internally, the old style copy including timestamp and usernames is still there. It's just disabled by the internal setting "coreSettings.compose.disableTimestampOnCopy" which cannot be reached by the user nor changed in the Teams tenant, as I was told.

In teams-for-linux, the unofficial Teams client, which works also in Windows, I think it is now possible to get the old behavior back.
