Teams Chat - copy/paste

Forcing new features onto users in a production environment can be disruptive and potentially lead to unintended consequences. It is important to treat production environments with the utmost care and respect, as they are not playgrounds for experimentation, we are the users paid the cost to use for business.

In our organization there are many colleagues that are frustrated / furious about this change. Also, to call it a feature to avoid text alteration, in my opinion, is ridiculous. If someone wants to alter the text can do it, and this so-called "feature" prevents nothing, let alone with the workaround.

Please, revert this as it was before. It is much needed. If some users like it this way (I really can't understand how one can, but still) just make it an option!

Thank you. You are right, holding the mouse button down is not needed for pasting. I thought it was a small detail that could be omitted. :-)

Thanks, happy to have this work around.

What does it, is the holding of the mouse button after selecting and then pressing CTRL-C in Teams.

The CTRL-V directly while holding the mouse in Teams is not needed.

Afer that you can paste tekst to your destination file.

And indeed lay-out is awkward; reply's are pasted twice...

Still better than no metadata.

Thanks for your comment!

Indeed, this works, though formatting is rather awkward. This is better than nothing, obviously but MS should simply bring back the old functionality.

Thank you.
