Here’s an example:
Let’s say there’s a chat message with a sentence or two I want to copy/paste elsewhere. I highlight just the text I want and hit copy, and then when I go to paste, Teams has ‘helpfully’ copied not just the highlighted text but also the rest of the message and the metadata such as who wrote the message and the time stamp.
Every day using teams I encounter things like this that frustrate and annoy me.
It’s also one of the few tools I answer customer surveys on so I can share the annoyances back with Microsoft - and at least some of them seem to slowly get fixed (eg clicking show message from the search results now takes you to the message in context whereas previously it would just show the message by itself in the center of the screen with no way to see the surrounding conversation).
Anyway, yes, in my experience Teams is definitely worst-in-class.
- wvenable 4y agoI just tested this in Teams right now and it only copies the text I highlighted. I tried it both on the native client and in Chrome. If you select multiple messages, it will copy the whole message with one line of meta data but that seems pretty reasonable to me as that is also highlighted.
