They never did fix it, and today it's even worse!
Now you can't hold down the mouse button to copy and paste the time stamp.
Ever since this update to supposedly remove clutter it has created a nightmare for me where I have a lengthy chat log I provide to my usergroup and no one who says what. I hate Microsoft for this. You can't even highlight all the chat in the chat log to copy, it chooses how much of it gets highlighted and never preserves the point you started off with highlighting so you have to find the point where you left off. NIGHTMARE. I tell the 2000 users in the group every month how horrible Microsoft is for this. Zoom for 10 years automatically sends you an email with the chat log. No option for that in Teams, only 2 hours worth of worth to copy and paste. Co-Pilot can't even understand the problem I am asking it for help on. I curse Microsoft for making my life hell!
Yeah. That's way better than having to delete some lines.
/s Unbelievable.
Great idea!
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?
