Allow copying whole chat conversations
Currently, it's not possible to select & copy more than one message in a chat. When I try to select two or more messages, the focus stays on the first message making it impossible to copy whole chat.
There are some really ugly workarounds like: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-Teams/Copying-conversations/td-p/62849 which I don't consider a solution of the situation.
I want to be able to select multiple messages at once and copy them by hitting CTRL+C.

Microsoft, why can;t you deliver on the ability to copy out the contents of a Chat? Is there a fundamental flaw in the deign of MS Teams? What is the problem? This has been asked for by users for years.

Can you enable saved chat messages to be posted in team channels? Seems like that could work no?

It's still not possible to copy more than one message. Are you still working on it? It's been 18 months now. Does it usually take this long?!?!

To the poster regarding 'pop out chat'...this still does not capture the entire chat history...It looks at though MS is caching chat text. Unless I am missing something, this technique will not work.

This function can be used by clicking on the 'Pop out chat' option on the top right of the Teams chat.
Then, CTRL-A in the pop out window and CTRL-C to copy all text. CTRL-V to paste.

I've been working very hard to get my company to use Microsoft Teams and the other Microsoft tools much more. I'm going to have a really hard time getting my company to fully buy in to Teams if we can't do this though. Pity!

This is an absolute joke.... typical Microsoft, May 2020... a chat app made to "take over the world", no copy and paste and no forward. RIDICULOUS!

A feature that has been requested since Sep 2017 and the only response we have is from a year later in Nov 2018. Does it really take this long to get 1 feature enabled ? a feature that is being requested for by so many users ?
