Fix pasting of images
Pasting images is somewhat supported - see https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public-preview/suggestions/16925587-ability-to-paste-images) but is not correctly implemented (at least on Windows).
Using Google Chrome, if I right click on any image on a webpage and select "Copy Image", I can not paste it into Teams. I can paste this on competitors products, such as HipChat and of course into MS Paint.
There are different issues pasting from other browsers. Edge and IE both paste a blank image. Firefox has similar behavior to Chrome (nothing is pasted at all).
This is a very common use case - pasting an image from a web page. Please make it work!

You should experience significant improvements in copy & paste of images within Teams, as well as to & from Teams. We are aware of a few remaining issues, but the most common cases are resolved.
Thanks again for your patience on this one.

Pasting from the Microsoft Snip & Sketch tool often results in a broken/unclickable image.

More than 3.5 years later and still not fixed the clipboard issue. Kindda frustrating...

This is really disappointing... I use Snagit constantly at work and I am unable to paste images into Teams. It works intermittently, apparently it will work if you don't have shadows or transparency on your images but I want to take advantage of those Snagit features. I wish my current organization used HipChat or Slack (like my previous employer) where this isn't an issue.

We are experiencing this across our tenant.

There has been no improvement at all. The core issue is that Teams is not utilising the clipboard properly, and this is a known issue in all Office applications too.

I'm seeing problems today (not sure if problems since latest update or just different scenario). I've received screenshots from other users that I cannot open/view. And I've had problems copying and pasting screenshots.

We are seeing the problem with a near-monopoly software provider folks... three years to NOT fix a relatively minor problem reported by 14 pages worth of irritated people.

Quick update: have shared the Fiddler log with Microsoft support. Would be good if more people can create a ticket with Microsoft support. The more tickets we have, the more difficult it will become for the Teams PG to completely ignore us as they're doing for the last 12 months.

I cannot paste images to Teams chat either. What exactly are "a few remaining issues" and how big are they that the issue remains more than 12 months since the last update?

Hi all. Just want to let you know that I'm pushing back on this and escalating it via our TAM. We created a ticket back in April and have ended up in an endless "we need a fresh set of logs" loop with Microsoft support. Imagine posting "we are aware of a few renaming issues' more than a year ago and completely ignoring all the comments pointing out that this is happening. It's an intermittent issue and isn't impacting everyone. This is probably why the Product Group is able to put us in this endless loop. Based on the history of our ticket, comments below, a thread on the techcommunity... this has to be escalated internally within Microsoft support. I'm going to update this post when I have new information. have asked Microsoft support and our TAM to reach out to Karuana Gatimu and maybe even the other people above (missing last names). Multiple people within Microsoft really dropped the ball here and I'm noticing this way of "working" most with microsoft teams.

just tried to paste an image into chat. It worked from one website but not another. This is basic. I should not have to paste into Paint, copy from Paint, then paste into Teams

Even when you manage to paste an image into the "Chat" area of MS Teams, there still exists problems with loading images. Images in the "Chat" area of MS Teams frequently fail to load. It's a long-standing MAJOR embarrassing bug in MS Teams. I'm really surprised to see that after such a very long time, MS Teams is still very unreliable in the area of displaying images in Chat.

I can copy and paste, but the pictures keep disappearing. If I wait a while and they reappear. When I scroll back in a chat, they show broken for a split second, then update. Sometimes, they don't update and it just shows broken. This chat is only a couple of hours old

A workaround seems to be:
CTRL + SHIFT + V
then CTRL + V

Same issue. Copy from Teams and paste and my clipboard contents are still the same as before I clicked "Copy Image"

This still isn't working for me. I tried to Snip a screen shot and copy into Teams, and I get the "Broken Image" icon.

Broken image issue: When I copy an old Outlook (exchange on prem) content with a couple of images and paste it into a Teams calendar invite where I am inviting a Channel, pics look fine to me but everyone gets an invite with broken images. Please fix this!
