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.

it's unfathomable - unable to cut & paste to/from clipboard. isn't this a default behavior of a windows app?

Using the Snip tool (shift+win+s), the image will appear, send, and then not show up when it has been sent. Only uploading saved files seems to be permanent.
Makes me wish I was using Discord.

Select a load of text and images and you seem to get random results of wether it works and on which bits when pasting it into another chat window - this should be easy stuff!!
There should be a facility to multi-select multiple chats (including images) - right click and copy/send to another teams users chat window.. I do this so many times a day and it often does not work..

not fixed at all. the lack of this feature really reflects poorly on Teams being a communication tool.
And forwarding feature of files/images/etc within Teams would be greatly appreciated too. -

I can paste images just fine but if I revisit that same post a couple weeks later, the images (or their thumbnails) no longer appear and are instead replaced with a broken link thumbnail. This is in an org wide general channel so it's a pretty bad look.

It still pathetic. How come something so trivial need this much time to fix. It still does not fully work. The copied image can be pasted to MS outlook but not ms paint. But once pasted outlook it can be copied from there.

Image copied in a remote desktop pastes OK in other apps (such as Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, etc.) on the local computer but won't paste in teams.

You have not fixed the issue of being unable to paste images with transparency. Is it really hard for Microsoft?

Good lord almighty! How is this still an issue after MORE THAN THREE YEARS?!
Honestly, how hard can it be? It's not like this is a common issue that affects other applications!
Absolutely hopeless.
