Hide bar at top of teams sharing
rayted22 I'm not aware of any way to disable it. It's generally needed is you end up giving control to other people.
rayted22 I'm not sure I've heard of this message.
Which platform Windows/Mac/Web others ? What exactly are the step to reproduce?
StevenC365 You seem to be confused. This is standard Teams behavior, for every non-mobile platform. You have seen this feature if you have shared content.
And it is very annoying compared to other collaboration apps, which easily allow you to slide or move the bar. Teams instead decides that you just dont get to access anything under this bar.
Hi Steven
Using windows... 10
I have 2 screens (though people with one screen have an issue too)See attached. Happen when sharing your screen - primarily noticed when using google chrome.... it pops up hiding/preventing me from navigating tabs on chrome!
Thank you.

- If you're sharing screens from within Citrix or RDP, you will have the issue of not being able to get rid of that sharing bar. It's a complete nightmare. That is the worst thing about Teams.
- Mine doesn't even have the pushpin on the far right to enable me to remove it 😞
It doesn't help that the pin icon is confusing. Rather than showing the current pin state it shows the opposite one. It's like having a power switch with the "on" state labeled "off" and the "off" state labeled "on". It would be much clear if it was text saying "Pin bar" and "Unpin bar". No ambiguity.
As I think about this: the Teams pin is the exact opposite of the mute indicator! That icon shows current state. No wonder I find the Teams pin icon frustrating.
rayted22 It caused the same pain to me. This sharing bar is quite an intrusion when someone is sharing their work using web browsers! The truth is the bar is very sensitive and impossible for the user to completely avoid activating it while switching tabs. I have to use vertical tabs while the team sharing is on. Hope they can make it customizable in the future.
