TEAM is the worst ever UI i seen to copy text for transcription

Dear @BOILY, Joel [MECFOR-DSG]

I completely understand the frustration. Spending 30 minutes just trying to copy a meeting transcript is exactly the kind of thing that makes people angry, especially when the transcript already exists, and all you want is the text.

As a forum member like you, I'm not part of the Microsoft Teams product team, so I can't directly change the UI or accelerate a fix. However, your feedback is the sort of usability issue that many users find particularly frustrating because it affects day-to-day productivity rather than being an advanced feature request.

In this case, currently, depending on where the transcript is stored, you may have a few alternatives:

1/ Open the meeting recap and look for a Download transcript option.

When the meeting is over, the transcript is immediately available in the meeting event on the calendar. By default, meeting organizers and co-organizers can download it as a .docx or .vtt file.

• Select Chat in Teams > Open the past meeting chat.
• Select Recap > Select Transcript.
• Select the dropdown arrow next to Download and choose the type of file you want the download to be.
• For reference: Extract TEAMS transcript and Start, stop, and download live transcripts in Microsoft Teams meetings

2/ Since the transcript is saved in OneDrive or SharePoint, meeting organizers can edit and manage a meeting's transcript

The meeting organizers may also be able to give others permission to download a transcript, depending on policies set by your IT admin. For reference: Edit or delete a meeting transcript in Microsoft Teams

Additionally, I encourage you to submit this feedback to the Microsoft Teams product team through Teams > Settings and more (...) > Feedback. Feedback submitted through this channel is reviewed by Microsoft and helps prioritize usability improvements and future enhancements.
