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.

Pernille-Eskebo when are you planning to give back the true full screen?

All of a sudden today the toolbar and Full Screen options are no longer available in the browser version of Teams. It's essential to have those as we share a meeting on the portal into the Live event on the laptop. I couldn' do that today so someone else had to live strem for me (they still have those options)

  I don't use Browser version myself but it's possible the option is located somewhere else but even so have you tried to toggle to Full Screen using PF11. This is how I get to Full Screen in my Teams App but even so you still have to make sure that you are in I believe the normal mode Window of the session (not a Teams mode).
  
  Also a simple solution might be to just install the Teams App and use that as it appears to still be available there.

    Jim_B175 The fullscreen in the teams app is not a true fullscreen, it retains a bar of controls across the top. This is the entire point of this kvetch. Fullscreen is no longer available, it's a "mostly full screen". But that involves scaling a shared screen down just a little bit so that it fits in the available space. This compromises the fidelity of the image.
