Hide bar at top of teams sharing
Hi all When I share my screen in meetings it involves using a browser i.e. I`m presenting things using google chrome. I get a bar asking me to change my screen size/settings etc on teams. It'...
rayted22 I'm not aware of any way to disable it. It's generally needed is you end up giving control to other people.
I just updated to the "New Teams" app, and I am encountering the same issue. We run a morning meeting every day in which I am presenting multiple DevOps boards, and the screen sharing bar is incredibly intrusive because it always overlaps two of the tabs, even when collapsed. The "old" Teams app worked just fine without the Zoom-style top-of-window share bar. I have always found this bar style and position to be more of an irritant than an aid in Zoom, and it's frustrating that it has now been integrated into Teams and is interrupting the natural flow of our meeting. Can we get some sort of an option to reposition or even disable this "feature" completely?
I agree, the new Teams sharing bar is even worse than the old one, though I'm surprised anyone was okay with the old one. They made it smaller but now it never goes away, so it's absolutely always in the way of my browser tabs.
Why is this bar needed at all? Users can give and receive control on the actual teams window; it does not need to be handled on a separate bar.

- I totally agree...this Teams toolbar is very intrusive and it needs to have a toggle to collapse that functionality. Why is this such a long-running issue? I cannot believe this got past the user experience teams for so long now!
- The answer is obvious. Microsoft believes that the way it works is close to perfect, and they don't care what we think. As RachaelBoneck asked, why is the bar needed at all? I'd be happy if I could move it to either side of the screen. It would be a lot less annoying, but they won't even allow that.
