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.

@Ryan Hoffman Our issue with this was a transparency option in SnagIt. Disabling that fixed our paste issues.

This problem most certainly is NOT resolved. Cannot copy from Teams to Word, Visio, latest versions of products.

Still having issues using SnagIt. Rebooted and signed in/out of Teams... these inconsistencies (works one day, then not the next) are highly impactful to productivity and user adoption.

Some time after my Teams post, I also lost pictures copied/pasted via the clipboard (using Greenshot). The most cumbersome about this is that one thinks it worked and therefore makes no backup of the image and if used often don't even know which images were used, in which case it would probably be better if it did not work at all.

started experiencing this issue 2 days ago. I'm used to pasting Snagit screen captures directly into Teams and it worked perfectly, but all of a sudden I can't do it. i'd appreciate your support, tnx

Even if it wasn't seamless, a "paste as picture" right click or menu based option would be helpful. Like Office apps or Outlook.
My current workaround is to paste as picture in an office application and then copy it from there and I can paste it into Teams.

Often pasting images into the MS Teams Linux client crashes the whole client. Completely unacceptable and needs fixing ASAP

Same issue. It's worked before but just started having issues pasting from snag it to a teams post. I can paste in other programs such as word, powerpoint, etc. The work around is to go in snag it and save it as a file as an image and then go in the teams post and attach the image file. Pain in the butt.

I don't understand how this still hasn't been resolved. This is literally one of the most basic functions you expect from a program. It's nearly 2021 and I still can't copy an image from the web and paste it into teams. This is madness.

All images from Teams cannot be copied. I tried Snagit, Paint, and others. It is weird that copy and paste has disappeared in 2020.

This is a major fail. I have to print screen any images that I need to put in documents or emails outside of teams. I cant even download an image that is pasted into a chat. Please fix this!

Hi all. My last post here was in August. Have created a ticket for this issue back in April and have shared many/many logs. They claim to have deployed a fix, but yeah... it didn't fix it, so they're asking again for logs. Let's face it guys, they're not fixing this. We need to escalate this. Create a ticket with MSFT support and immediately escalate it with your account manager. I'm working on a blog post to highlight this issue and let everyone know that Microsoft doesn't care about all bugs. This clearly isn't impacting everyone and someone high up within MSFT doesn't want to allocate resources to fix this.

This issue is not fixed. I face this issue almost every day. I have come across this problem when copying from Snagit 2020 and then trying to past it in a Teams chat. Restarting the teams app solves the problem or my other workaround is to paste the image in OneNote and then copy from OneNote and then to Teams.

Using SnagIt and adding effects or too many markups and it won't paste into Teams chat. It will paste into any other Microsoft desktop app though. The workaround is to use snipping tool of the snagit image.
