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 see people in this thread saying switching to Classic helps, and I can't imagine how. Maype it's different when using New Teams in Classic Mode vs using Teams Classic?
I still have Teams Classic (fully Classic - no toggle available) & the bar still regularly gets in the way - especially if sharing on a laptop with no secondary display (as often is the configuration when working remote or on the road).

Star-D, in Classic, the bar is terrible - but it goes away if you pin-and-unpin it. In new, it sticks around for like 5 seconds no matter what, and you get an EXTRA little tiny bar even when you minimize the big one. Amazingly, it went from bad to worse.

KPage955 , it never really went away for me via pin/unpin in Classic, so it was still awful. I finally have New Teams now though, and I must agree; as bad as it was, the new bar is worse. At least by the time I got New Teams last month, TheLocalizer had already found a solution.
