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

Facing same problem and yes its just frustrating!!! I am unable to hide the bar while sharing the Screen, unable to access the content/chrome browser tabs when this bar is shown. At least in the older verison i was able to unpin it to hide, but with newer version that doesnot work.

I am facing this issue with the new Teams version. Is there any way to go back to old version??

There's a switch in the upper-left corner of the Teams app that toggles between Classic and New Teams:

I turned off this switch, that is, I opted for the classic version, and as a result the bar no longer appears.
Thanks.

Just to be clear, I believe the classic behavior is also horrible. You still have to deal with a bar covering your browser tabs when you float your mouse too far up. It does go away quicker, granted. The solutions are many, and simple: provide a button to close the bar, be able to move the bar, or be able to disable it. All three really would be the right call here.
