can't find option for full screen after update
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.

Text of my reply was as follows:
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.- I am not after this when I _share_ my screen. I want it when someone else is sharing _their_ screen. Is that what you are talking about? Also: where is this "True Full Screen" option located?
I was only able to test this when I was sharing my Screen so I cannot attest to what I see right now currently as no one has shared their screens with me recently. So, I got a True Full Screen when I shared my screen.
There is a Full Screen option that is listed in the More Options which is represented by an elipsis (...) on the Control Bar at the top of the Teams Window. One of the pop up options when you click on the More Options is an option for Full Screen. But again I use the Teams App and not a Browser Session.
I had sort of given up on badgering Microsoft as they seemed not to want to change anything. I have been badgering for quite a while on this topic. However, I seem to remember recently seeing that I did get a True Full Screen with No Border Controls. I was surprised as I didn't think it had been changed. I did note though (if I am correct with my memory) the Full Screen was only working when Sharing a Screen. I wanted to see it work the way it used to work in Skype where you got the Full Screen even when not Sharing your Screen. I use Microsoft Teams Version 1.5.00.14473 (64-bit).
Do note though that I primarily use the App when in a Teams Session and I don't use a Browser Session.
