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 The new functionality is considerably better. If you want the name and time just triple click on the message. This is a great update for the majority of users.
abrownperth I just tried triple clicking and it made no difference. My organization has made Win11, 24H2 available to me. I'll try running that update tonight and see if that resolves my issue
- I copy Teams conversations a lot, for ticket support logs, having the name and time stamp was handy for that reason.
I tried tripple click like you said, that didn't work.
