It seems this still is a problem? So long without a response?
Or can I flip a setting somewhere to turn this off. (can't find that info)
I need to stay available, even when off the clock. so I keep teams open outside of business hours.
But when gaming in full screen, teams pulls me out of the game. This can be very frustrating. I now close teams when gaming, but this is not ideal.
I'm on: "Microsoft Teams Version 1.6.00.11166 (64-bit). It was last updated on 9-5-2023."
(I would also still appreciate to be able to 'full screen' over my 'full' 'screen'.
