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)

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Agreed and look forward to your uservoice to hopefully help Microsoft understand the negative impact this has had from the reverse logic thinking that led to this serious regression.
Agreed. This is a DISASTER. I am losing a huge amount of productivity time. In reality, the functionality should really be like Whatsapp, with the ability to select multiple messages with checkmarks and do an action, such as copy, to all checked messages at once. Would be great for forward too as forwarding 1 message at a time is rediculous.
I am going to open a uservoice about this and will update here with my link to vote for the idea.
The best workaround I have found since the additional updates (regressions) is to forward the message in TEAMS, then copy/paste the message somewhere else (Word?), exit the message forwarding to get back to "normal" in TEAMS. You can then edit the message you are "forwarding", but it will keep the date/time stamp and the name of the person who made the post.
Check my work?
Not feasible. Why would you forward a singular message to post in Word when you can just highlight the timestamp individually to copy and paste? The issue is with the messages in a conversation and not one particular message. Once you highlight more than a timestamp or name you are prevented from copying anything except the message itself. Totally bonkers.

Why does Micro$$$oft not just be honest and respond "Because we said so and close the conversation."
