Teams refused to let me copy text from the real-time captions, even showing a popup to say it wasn't allowed. But after the meeting in the posted transcript I could copy the same text anyway so not sure why it was so important to prevent me from copying immediately. Very annoying since I wanted that text right then and not later.

Zoom is the exact same. So frustrating, especially when dealing with multiple languages.
Don't modern screenshot apps allow for selecting text? just take a video and select away.
I discovered this prohibition last week. Absolutely maddening.
