Is there any way to disable the paste-with-format feature on Lync? I'd like to paste only the text instead of having something like this:

Copy and paste it to notepad or another plain text editor.
Copy it from notepad into your target application, Lync in this case.

You can use PureText or other similar utilities. I use it and it works with Lync flawlessly. By default it allows to convert'n'paste text by pressing Win+V, but seems like it can override Ctrl+V too.

I use ClipX as a clipboard tool, and when I paste from its menu (Win+Insert) it pastes plain text.

It is not possible to paste into Lync/Skype without formatting. Ctrl + Alt + V does not work in newer versions.
The only keyboard shortcut to paste without formatting would be: Win, "note", Enter, Ctrl + V, Ctrl + A, Ctrl + C, move cursor to Skype window, Ctrl + V.

Ctrl+Alt+V doesn't work for me in Skype for business 2016. However Ctrl+Shift+V works gracefully
Or you can simply press Menu button (the key between right Ctrl and right Windows) then N

On my Dell Latitude laptop there is no right Windows key. However there is the Menu key on my full keyboard and the symbol for it is a Fn key for the right Ctrl key, or you can get that by right-clicking in the Skype window then either select paste unformatted from the pop-up options, or press the 'n' key which I find even faster than Ctrl+Shift+V!
