Question

I cannot paste an image on to my teams page to share

Answer 1

There is an ongoing issue with the "Paste" option in the latest Teams app for Windows.

Microsoft has identified the issue and is working on a fix.

Meanwhile, using the Ctrl + V keyboard shortcut should work.

Answer 2

To share an image in Microsoft Teams desktop, use one of these supported methods:

1. In a chat or channel, go to the message box.
2. Select Attach files (paperclip icon) next to Type a new message.
3. Choose one of the following:
   • Upload from my computer → pick the picture → Open.
   • Attach cloud files → pick the picture from OneDrive/SharePoint → Open.
4. Optionally type a message, then select Send.

Alternatively, copy an image and paste it directly into the message box using Ctrl+V (Windows) or Cmd+V (Mac). If pasting from another app or browser does not work, use Attach files as above to upload the image instead.

If the issue is with a web experience like Viva Engage inside Teams and pasting fails only there, contact the IT department to check browser/clipboard restrictions as described for Viva Engage.
