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.
I, for one, do not consider this a defect or a bug. I copy from MS Teams a lot and save it into my Service Tickets and my personal work notes. Knowing the user and date\time is important to me because I refer to my old tickets and work notes when I need to contact an engineer or some other third-party for guidance or information.
I noticed that today (2024.08.16) that I can no longer copy all that information. I need Microsoft to configure MS Team to accommodate both our requests, that is to say, be able to copy user date and time and be able to excise that information.
