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.
Including a user name with a message just make so much sense. If I wanted just the mesage, I'd highlight just the message, and go on with my life, and including a name & timestamp is just too darned useful, and in many cases needed. Having to highlight the msg, paste, then go back and now highlight the name/time stamp (and only that data, becauise outherwise the control C will drop part of it) and go back and paste that as well is just too many steps.
