So, anybody else massively inconvenienced when #Microsoft took away the usernames/timestamps from copy/paste in #Teams ?

Thanks to the magic of Gluing Other People’s Code Together™️, I’m happy to present a solution!

https://github.com/ajn142/Teams-Markdown-Exporter/tree/UserScript.

It’s a #userscript that can be loaded via TamperMonkey (or GreaseMonkey, untested) or pasted into the F12 Developer Tools console. When you press both shift keys, it begins scraping the open Teams chat starting at the oldest loaded message, and continuing until it can’t load any more messages, then formats as Markdown with a convenient download button.

The relative lack of engagement tells me most of y’all are fortunate enough not to use Teams 😉

@cR0w still works unless they take away your F12 Dev tools, it’s just more manual to have to add it to the console yourself.

@ajn142 That's a lot of work to put into... Work. Wait, this is starting to sound like my review.

@cR0w hahaha right there with you, but the alternative of synthesizing chat logs into tickets or having to manually add back the missing data is probably still more work xD

When MS made that change the amount of work I logged dropped by half, just because it was so much harder to log all the incidental bullshit that adds up to a significant part of my day.

@ajn142 I'm with you. Those changes that probably seem small to companies like Microsoft make a huge difference to daily users and it generally feels like they DGAF. That really is the worst part.

@cR0w my favorite part is that in the first month after the change, the feedback for “put them back” hit 60% of the total feedback for “throw them away” over like 2 years. Will MS reverse course? No, because that requires admitting you were wrong and didn’t understand your audience. Maybe after they rebrand Teams to Lync 365 Copilot for Enterprise Small Businesses.
