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

This is unbelievable. THIS?? THIS is the "feature" they decide to implement?? There are HUNDREDS of VALUABLE feature requests that they've been ignoring for YEARS and they chose to remove a feature that daily users use all the time. It's MUCH easier to DELETE text you don't want/need, but there's no option to ADD it, so we're just hosed. The only option we have is to manually type text THAT WAS ALREADY THERE.

Same issue, could Microsoft please fix this regression ASAP?

This work around is not fulfilling my needs, and based on the other responses, it looks like many others have the same issue. Is there any chance that this patch can be reversed? The copy/paste works, but the reformatting takes so much time it has nullified the speed and usage of this program making it a significantly less effective tool.

Hello!

Could someone from Microsoft please look at this issue again because, while this is a workaround for a single message with the name and timestamp above, this doesn't easily enable someone to copy and paste a snippet from a discussion and efficiently share information with ease? This was something users were clearly used to and were praising this feature of your software.

Please re-implement this functionality so that we can continue to share conversations effortlessly when necessary.

Dear Dayna0415,

 

Good day!

Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are glad to assist!

 

Based on your description regarding "Why in Teams you are unable to copy the time stamp and name of the person anymore." My sincerest apologies for the inconvenience this might be causing you, after thorough testing, I reproduced your issue at my side. It could be Microsoft changed something at backend. I will report it to replated team. The Workaround I found is to hold mouse for selecting the message with Time Stamp and name of the person you want then use CTRL+C for copy and CTRL+V for paste while you are still holding mouse. Therefore, I will update this thread as soon as I get more detail information about the query and fix.

Also, if you have the organization admin permission, you can also raise a service request to report this symptom to our online channel through the O365 admin center. A support agent can further connect with you remotely, for further troubleshooting and involve the backend team where need be. Get support for Microsoft 365 for business -- Online support. I will also revert back when I get more info on this. Your patience and cooperation are much appreciated. Have a nice day!
