My Garmin device shows different elapsed time and moving time for my indoor activities, but Strava shows the same elapsed time and moving time. That's annoying. I'd like to have the actual moving time shown on strava.

Strava shows incorrect moving time

Hey @Mayday_qq,
Thanks for your post. We are two separate platforms with different calculations so certain aspects of your activity analysis may be different. In general, this is because Strava is more strict about resting time so we remove less of it than Garmin Connect. In other words, we're a bit more likely to consider you moving in places where Garmin considers you stopped. This means that even though the elapsed time is the same, the moving time can be a bit different, which can cause differences in average speed. Strava typically reports a bit more moving time and so a bit slower average speed.
We feel confident that we are accurately representing your data, but are always working on improving our calculations and appreciate your feedback. You may want to search our support site for more information and discussions on this topic.

Another reason why Strava setting its own elapsed time is bonkers: Just went on a 7 day hike to summit Mount Kilimanjaro. The strategy for completion is “pole pole” or going very slowly to acclimate to the altitude changes. All my hikes (each day recorded separately) show up in Strava as HOURS less than it actually took to complete the day’s mileage. For example, on the first day we hiked 6.3 miles in about 5:06 moving time (6:20 elapsed time). Strava has moving time of 3:38 - almost twice as fast as I actually moved. On summit night, when we were moving the slowest, it has our moving time as just over 2 hours when in fact it took TEN HOURS.
