rayted22 I'm not aware of any way to disable it. It's generally needed is you end up giving control to other people.

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.

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.

  RickG2 It doesn't help that the pin/un-pin isn't even available.

    I've seen this multiple times, but only on VDI. Not sure if this is actually a limitation. I've seen inconsistent behavior where some users on VDIs and are able to pin/unpin the top bar during a screen sharing session. Is there a way to tweak the OS/Teams to show this option at least?
