Thank you for your feedback! The team is hard at work on this highly requested feature. We will share an update as soon as one is available.
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.

Copy & Paste is tempermental
Users reporting multiple copy/paste issues for text:

Can't paste multi-messages. Often, only the first line pastes, the rest disappear. As one user puts it: "On the Windows 10 desktop client it is nearly impossible to copy multiple messages from the chat history. A fraction of a second after letting go of the mouse, the highlight collapses down to a single message."

Can't paste in general: "Copy & Paste is tempermental, when i try to paste text in from other sources it simply doesn't paste, but then if I only copy a few (3-6) words then it does. It means I can't do something as simple as pasting in a paragraph from an email, which I can definitely do in Skype for Business."

Can't copy/paste from Skype for Business.

When using an alternate theme like dark theme, copying messages out of Teams brings its background with it, meaning if you paste it somewhere else it has that dark gray background.
When copying something into teams, it preserves its original font color on top of the dark background, causing problems with visibility. If you are going to allow palette swapping themes, please add appropriate measures for text copied out of or into the app.

Great news! We just started working on this for the AUDIO portion. We are still trying to determine feasibility for the video portion of your request.

@Tag without selection

Current when @Tagging someone you have to type @PartOfTheirName then wait for the dialog to pop up, then hit tab or enter click the desired name (Person, Channel, Team). If you fail to use the dialog the @Tag fails to work even if you match the name perfectly.

What we'd like to see is typing @Name or @ChannelName or @TeamName just works even without using the dialog.

I’m excited to share that I got to use this in our experimental settings the other day. We’ve built it and are testing it internally. I’ll let you know once it moves up in the validation rings!

Dark theme problems!
See thread for issues related to dark theme. Here are some that are noted:

In dark theme, the warning messages are quite unreadable in the private messaging window

When an email is sent in from Outlook on the Web when I’m using the dark theme, the text in the email is very dark as per the original email. When viewing this email with Teams using the default (light) theme, it looks great.

In Teams chat, no way to turn text back to WHITE, when using the dark theme.

Using the dark theme, I have to hunt around a bit to find chats with new messages. Since the only notification that a chat with a specific person has new messages is that the text is bolded, it’s easy to miss. Would be nice if new chats bubbled up to an “active chats” group or something like that. Or maybe a red notification as to how many chats I haven’t read, similar to the one on the “Chat” tab, but specific to a chat.

When I am using the dark theme, when highlighted messages are posted, they are extremely difficult to read. You should automatically change the color of the highlighter from yellow to another color that makes it easier to read for people using the dark theme.

Code blocks are almost unreadable when using the dark theme, the text is white on a bright-grey background.

When using an alternate theme like dark theme, copying messages out of Teams brings its background with it, meaning if you paste it somewhere else it has that dark gray background.
When copying something into teams, it preserves its original font color on top of the dark background, causing problems with visibility. If you are going to allow palette swapping themes, please add appropriate measures for text copied out of or into the app.

Currently font color which is grey is too light for contrast and difficult to read. Would be good if it is a dark grey or black.

Converting space to non breaking space

It seems that recently Teams starting converting space characters to non breaking space characters. The text with non breaking spaces doesn't work the same, e.g. a search query that not fails.

The engineering team has created a fix for this that is currently making its way thru our internal testing. You should see the fix soon. Thanks.
Start by rolling out an update for a user to leave a group chat and end a chat ( why roll out a product, without this simple feature).

We’ve listened and the ability to leave a chat will soon be released! To access it you will simply click the “…” overflow menu from the left rail, on the chat you wish to leave. A fly-out will appear allowing you to either Favorite, Mute, Hide, or Leave the chat.
Look for this early in the new calendar year! -Warren
