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.

It's February 5, 2020. I understand if you haven't fixed this, but please at least tell us that this is the case.

Its now 2020 and I still can't use the CTRL+C method, pretty awkward if you work on incidents and try to establish a timeline

@Suphatra has there been any updates to this feature? From all of the comments below, I can see that I'm not the only one that is wondering on why it has been over a year with no update to this feature in Teams or an updated comment from MS.

Using Teams Desktop I can select multiple parts of a conversation by clicking/dragging mouse and then hitting Ctrl-c. But the pasted output is the same old UGLY teams cut/paste.
Still would like to see and export function.

What a slouch! get with it MS! It's absurdly offensively ridiculous that you can't copy a conversation. Microsoft, slouchy as usual.

Please add the ability to copy all the text or just add an export button, this is very time consuming to copy in stages. It seems such an easy fix!!!!

I would love it if you would enable this feature! As a bookkeeper it's important to retain documentation of my interaction with clients however I'm ot able to close out a TEAMS Team unless I make a copy of the conversation records.

Hey Microsoft... is anyone still listening on this thread / improvement proposal ?
Although you might think that Microsoft covers all functionalities, you might be empathic enough to help us in the dungeons that are still transitioning to your ideal world, and that have to live with non-O365 systems for e.g. incident management, and where it is very useful to copy in (parts of) a Teams conversation into an external non-Teams application (I would not mind if it was possible to export a conversation (or parts of it) - so that the recipient 'only can open the file in his Teams installation') - but please, please, please - ACT !

Microsoft Teams development team - there are over 950 votes for this. What's the plan to get this done?

It is unbelieveable how failed this migration from Skype for Business to Teams is. This is yet another basic feature that was existing in both Lync and Skype for Business, that, in their infinite wisdom, Microsoft's Teams team decided not to port to Teams. I still remember when the corporate operations pushed on us Teams as a wholesale replacement for Skype for Business, and to each question they were saying "yes, it is exactly like Skype, but much better". I am sure that some Microsoft's managers got bonuses for bright idea of accelerating project delivery by delivering a product with reduced feature set. Come on Microsoft, you used to know better. You were big mature company always improving its products, and not making them less usable.
