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?
DavidStever I have the same behavior, when I copy a message it does not copy the name and time stamp anymore.
I use to find that very handy.
Why can't MS just make is so that you copy whatever is selected!? Much easier.
