    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 discovered a hack that works well until this is fixed. It would seem that the toolbar is actually a separate application that Teams calls when you share in a meeting so if you click on the toolbar, you can then press ALT-F4 or CTRL-W (shortcuts to close the running application) and it closes just the toolbar. This works great so long as you don't need to "Give Control" or "Annotate" during the session, as those functions seems to be only available in the toolbar, hence it running as a separate application. All the other functions are still available in the main Teams window.
