can't find option for full screen after update

rmhartman,
I just tested the True Full Screen for Screen Sharing function and it does give you a True Full Screen. Some Control Functions are maintained in the small User Image Window which can be repositioned easily.

Focus mode is more of less the same, under the ... menu. I would also suggest that you can zoom the shared content if you can't view it, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgmuOObONBk

I would really like the full screen option to come back. The focus option is not as good and it also keep toggling off

  Definitely not Full Screen and the user community should not settle for this. I had notice about a week ago that one of my complaints about the Dark Grey Bar where your user image is displayed now is gone. Just the User Image shows which I find acceptable as this is how Skype did it in the past when I was using Skype extensively.
  
  Microsoft could just do what it was doing on the non popout screen which is just have your controls display when you move the cursor with your mouse. Problem solved but does Microsoft think to do this. NO, Microsoft just keeps giving us changes which don't satisfy the request for Full Screen.
  
  Also these changes to Full Screen and what I noticed with the Dark Grey Bar at the bottom of the screen gong away occurred without any evidence a new update had been done. Namely the same version date has shown all along in Teams. This confirms my suspicion that this has been happening for some time as I would see changes occurring unexpectedly.

    I agree, keeping controls on screen is valuable feature in many scenarios, but being in full screen ought to be an exception.
