    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.

And.... now Microsoft has _removed_ the option to opt out of New Meeting Experience, while still not creating true full-screen. Way to go Microsoft. True user-friendlyness. /s

For those who argue, that Fullscreen in the previous UI wasn't true fullscreen: You are wrong. Look at this video from Jeremy Chapman, Director at Microsoft 365. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_C4N4mukqU

I'm still not sure that was true what your link said but in any event you can't do what the link says to do because Microsoft removed the option to stop using the New Experience.

 

Secondly I not only want True Full Screen in Shared Screen Mode but I want it when not sharing a Screen.  I want to be able to get to to a True Full Screen when just on a Conference Meeting with just 2 or more participants or just on a Microsoft Teams Video Call.  It is ridiculous that Microsoft doesn't give us this facility when Skype (now a Microsoft Product) did it and other Video Conferencing Applications do True Full Screen.

      In meeting full screen experience is fine. But when we call any individual, I mean when two people working with shared screen, full screen option itself is not coming. That was a good to have feature that is removed in recent version . Though "focus" works, that is not full screen..
