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.

Rather than press Microsoft to make it one way or the other, we will suggest an option that will satisfy BOTH sides of the issue.
Exactly this... they could have just added code to make the amount of what you copy / pasted an optional thing... Settings >>> General >>> "Do you want to include sender's name and timestamp in copied messages" >>> (toggle yes/no)
GeraldS1265 What a great idea! You are a modern day Solomon. The current option- to highlight and Ctrl-C with the mouse button down, is extremely messy, and results in much editing to clean it up for shared/public use.
- The best I can come up with at this point is to pop the individual chat window out of the main chat window and THEN press CTRL A. This will avoid capturing extraneous information from the main window.
