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)

    Deeply annoying - it'd be good if it was a configurable option so folks not worried about 'too much meta data' and enjoy a helpful copy / paste functionality. Much better than the 'big brother knows best' so we're removing something we gave you.

    Maybe if they added their own button that let you copy a message with the name/date included and that button could strip this metadata?

    to this absolute joke of a useless over-duplicated messy paste:

    Name, Redacted7:43 a.m.

    Ok

    Yes by UserName, RedactedRedacted, UserName7:44 a.m.

    Yes

    I can check [redacted] by UserName, RedactedUserName, Redacted7:44 a.m.

    I can check [redacted] permissions

    I you are right by UserName, RedactedUserName, Redacted7:44 a.m.

    I you are right

    or did you mean [redacted] remote users by 2ndUserName, 2ndRedacted2ndUserNames, 2ndRedacted7:44 a.m.

    or did you mean [redacted] remote users

    I think they skipped usability testing along with only listening to a few users.
