■ AI-SUMMARIZED FROM 2 SOURCES ▸ TIMELINE

Microsoft has identified a bug in a recent Edge browser update that disables right-click paste functionality in Microsoft Teams desktop chats. The company is working on a fix.

Users attempting to paste text via right-click context menu in Teams chat windows will encounter failures following the latest Edge update. The issue affects the Teams desktop client specifically, though web-based Teams access remains unaffected. Microsoft acknowledged the problem and confirmed it stems from changes introduced in the recent Edge release. The company has not yet provided a timeline for resolution but recommends users employ alternative paste methods in the interim, such as Ctrl+V (Windows) or Cmd+V (Mac), or use keyboard shortcuts for chat functionality. This marks another instance of cross-application issues stemming from browser updates. Microsoft has advised users experiencing the bug to report additional details through official Teams support channels to help expedite a patch. The company typically addresses such issues through regular updates to both Edge and Teams.
