Display Teams chat message with date stamp rather than relative day

Is there a way to force Teams Chat messages to display the date of a message rather than "yesterday" or "today"?
e.g. display "27/08/2024" instead of displaying "yesterday 2:12 pm". (I'm creating this post on 28/08.)

We use screenshots of Teams messages in our processes, and having to wait for the actual date to displayed invariably means taking the screenshot is forgotten. 

Immersive reader always shows the actual date, but not the recipient of the message. No help there.

    For Microsoft it would be too smart. They can produce only stupid undertested soft. Get used to it!

      Absolutely. MS is always like, "you will take this experience and you will love it" to actual users while selling to business leaders how flexible of an application ecosystem it is. The flexibility is only real when it comes to spying on the users I guess.

       

      Who thought it was a great idea to give less information when it would be easier to just put the timestamps there. How do I even know that "Yesterday" or "Thursday" is even in my timestamp? Crazy.
