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)

    Except for the fact that it copies it like garbage and needs a lot of cleanup to be legible.

    Before it would actually copy line by line with name and timestamp (NEATLY!) and have returns between each message so as to easily read the conversation.

    Not ONLY did it do that, but if you copied conversation spanning multiple days it would actually include context as to when you wrote the messages like "Yesterday" and "Today" in the chain as well, it was awesome and now it royally sucks.

    I need this functionality back.
    Please restore it.
    Thank you.

    I found that using the OLD version of Teams will include the timestamp and name.

    This works, ish.

    I hate how it copies it all crappy like

    Testing by NAME

    8:01 AM

    NAME

    Testing

    Testing 1 2 3 by NAME

    8:01 AM

    NAME

    Testing 1 2 3

    The cow jumped over the moon and they were ... by NAME

    8:01 AM

    NAME

    The cow jumped over the moon and they were really really really good jumpers

    It used to copy everything really neat and clean with timestamps in brackets next to the names and not the extra "..." lines when there was too much text.

    Microsoft - you really need to fix this NOW!

    Yet another vote here... it was always a bit random or seemed to be if you got the corrupted junk combination of text or the nicer formatted Name, Time and comments. What the hell is the use of comments like this from a chat I saw recently when copy/pasted: Now same with name & times.... hmm, heh we used to have that!

    We have got XY| going on at the moment, can you help.

    Yes I am looking at it

    Our team has working on this evening

    I have put a new version into test

    I confirm looks Ok

    Me too

    Agreed will roll it out.

    Yes, put it live

    Tested...
