can't find option for full screen after update
StevenC365 How do I turn it off so I can get fullscreen back?
Please go to - Profile -> Settings -> General -> Under Application -> Disable [Turn ON new meeting experience] -> Restart Teams.
You can view the meetings in full screen.

Thanks for the TIP
I agree this is very missing - i can not see what is presented because of resolution differences. Can't believe this was taken away from us 😞

Yoav Crombie, I also miss so much fullscreen, but while it doesn't return, you don't have to squeeze your yes... I use Focus option and zoom the contents. Not the same as fullscreen, but at least I can see what's on the screen

Luiz_Cruz Thanks !
Do you zoom using CTR and mouse scroll?

harsha275 Thank you for the workaround. I am excited to test it out on my next call.
This is the most obscene degrade/feature removal in a program update I can currenty remember. We at our company ALWAYS instantly go full-screen so we can see actually read what's on the user's screen. The most recent update has made this software embarrassing for the callers and nearly unusable. There's so many embarrassing moments where we have to admit to the other caller that we cannot read the text on their screen as they are trying to elaborate on what it says.
I have no idea what "features" were even added in this most recent update. All I care to be able to do is chat, call, and share screens with other users in full screen mode. What is this focus/gallery nonsense? In "Focus mode", the screen is still way too cramped and the text on the other caller's screen is nearly illegible. This is absolutely ridiculous and frustrating. Why would you remove a feature in a product upgrade? How does that make sense?

Hello, trying to use your orientation
"Please go to - Profile -> Settings -> General -> Under Application -> Disable [Turn ON new meeting experience] -> Restart Teams. "
But as I am not so experienced user, can you help me telling where do I find "Profile"?, in excel? Which menu or Sub-menu?
Thanks
Eric

Sorry that option to disable was recently removed. The Option doesn't even appear as it used to. Now all you have is the New Meeting Experience which isn't even identified by an Option.

I just learned that you can use MS Teams from the WEB BROWSER!!!!
Meaning you can do all the CSS hacks you want.
On top of that, BROWSER TEAMS HAS FULLSCREEN AS YOU WOULD EXPECT!!!!!
To remove the controls, click on the presentation content, and then the controls will disappear!
Why using the browser (teams.office.com) isn't the "answer" until MS fixes their alpha/beta grade EXE release, is quite strange. But hey, I finally figured out /something/ that feels like a better experience.
- gibby_homeOct 19, 2021Brass ContributorThank you but I don't have that option under my applications on my Teams and I wonder is there a way of turning this off on a Microsoft teams room ?
- rmhartmanOct 19, 2021Copper ContributorGeez. Had to go back to page 1 ... the "disable new meeting experience" setting went away a long time ago.

gibby_home To the best of my knowledge the feature currentlly labeled as "full screen" is best described as "almost full screen".
