Teams Copying text includes persons name
Microsoft finally saw the light and made the change...
Teams Improves Text Pasting and Mic Pending
Thankfully, Teams pasted text no longer contains a timestamp and the author’s name. The change is effective worldwide and addresses a longstanding irritation. Quite why it took so long for Microsoft to understand how people felt about the insertion of unwanted metadata is a mystery, but it’s gone now. And in other news, Mic Pending is a new feature for Teams calls and meetings.
abrownausMy issue is that when I copy text messages out of a Teams chat, it has stopped copying my name and the time stamp. I count on that being there, and suddenly it's not, and Teams makes it very difficult to go back and grab the name & time stamp separately. Between your message and this one (two years), has MS made it possible to turn that off or on?
Not on Windows 11 Teams latest version (24193.1805.3040.8975) on my PC. Teams "chat" copying works perfectly. It's Teams "Teams" that is the problem.
In Teams "chat" you will copy what you select with the cursor: message alone, name and date alone, or name and date plus message. Just tested it. It still works perfectly in Windows 11. It's just that double clicking on the message also selects the name plus date. I wish I could change that default behavior.
In Teams "Teams". It copies also the name and date if you didn't select it. That is the main problem. I explicitly select the message to copy and it copies the name and date toom that is wrong.
- Don't tell someone they are wrong. It might work for you, that doesn't mean it works for everyone.
- Ok. Can you tell me what your test conditions are? What versions, platform. Etc.
