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

Thank you for posting this.

However, while the "forward" option works fine for a single message, this is not a solution for copying a full conversation with metadata. It is not feasible to [forward --> copy --> paste --> repeat] for every message in a conversation that needs to be noted in a ticketing system, legal documentation of events or many other valid situations.

Microsoft NEEDS to stop ignoring the needs of their customers and provide a valid solution for us.

Does Microsoft even READ our posts, concerns, and frustration or is this page ignored by them? Are we not the voice of the people, THEIR customers? When someone states they have a LEGAL and IMPERATIVE REQUIREMENT to pull data, does MS no longer care about us and our needs as discussed in this thread?

Their "excuse" that they are hiding or containing "microdata" to preserve the anonymity of the poster is just BOGUS!

They must focusing on Windows 11 patches since everyone has to upgrade.

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.

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.
