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 am having the same issue. I am a Product Owner and demo to people all day. I can't see my tabs for the share bar in Teams. It is so bad that I am going to switch to Zoom for meetings where I need to screen share which is pretty much every meeting. I like the new Teams with the exception of the intrusive screen share bar. It's a shame to leave Teams just for this reason. I sure hope an enhancement to this is in the works.
Kim_O335 You can return to the old Teams by toggling off the switch at the top-left of your interface:
This will return you back to the original Teams format. I finally just switched off "New Teams" because the new share bar is so intrusive.
A side effect of this, I discovered, is that old Teams and new Teams use different conversation histories, so you'll lose the current ones if you switch.
- Thank you for the suggestion. Losing the current conversations is very disappointing and not an option for me. I really don't want to go back to old Teams as I know we will be forced to use the new soon enough. I (as well as others) just really need the screen share bar to be movable. Very poor design/user experience! 😞
