Description

Feature Request

Describe the suggestion or request in detail

Currently if one has to send a screenshot to the bot, the user has to take a screenshot, save the image file and then upload the file as an attachment using the attachment button.
It would be great if you could support the ability to send pasted content as an attachment where if the user takes a screenshot, copies the image(ctrl+c) from the snipping tool and tries to paste on the chat box, the image should get sent.
