I am afraid that, currently, there are no plans to expose the player’s clipboard as a Lua API. If you want to let the player copy paste something, you’re gonna have to make a text box, focus it, and then from there you can just tell them to press Ctrl+C which is the shortcut for copying.

It isn’t possible, no games have such functions, it would be impossible to manipulate a player’s device through a game with Roblox’s Lua API.
Its not possible that the text is copied to the device, but you can make your own module that saves the copied text to be used within the game. And use UIS for the keybinds, CTRL + C and CTRL + V

You can use setclipboard to set to clipboard
setclipboard(“Your Text”)
doesn’t work, only some executors have that capability
Found the synapse user. Get outta here, bud.

lol ye, these people exposing themselves. Found another topic the same as this one which was marked as solved for the same answer. For those who do not know, setclipboard() is not a valid method and will just give you an error in Roblox studio. Don’t try, It isn’t even worth trying.

Hello, You can use the textbox as a copy to clipboard, it may not be advance but i assume that BedWars uses this to copy the username of the player on the TabList.
- Create A TextBox
- Open the properties of the Textbox
- Set the TextEditable = false
Then customize on however you prefer
If you want something like copy the player username here is an example code:
Here is the example code:
Make sure to turn to false on the TextEditable on the properties of the TextBox
