Hide bar at top of teams sharing
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 have a quick Fix for this.
Just kill the tool bar window by clicking on the Shared Window Toolbar to select it and then press CTRL+W to close it completely (⌘W on Mac works too, thanks Keith_D!). I just click the clock timer area to avoid clicking a button. This gets rid of the bar pop up for good during a share session.
It is the greatest invention of the year.
The "Ctrl-W Hack" will free many businessmen from stress.
I respect you.
TheLocalizer's reply needs to be marked as the new BEST RESPONSE by rayted22 so it shows on the front page of the thread.
- Awesome, finally a solution! Thank you!
- It isn't really a solution but a work-around. The fact is the design choice is horrible and everyone hates it. The community found a way to avoid it, but MS needs to fix it. That'd be the "solution."
I do agree the Ctrl-W should be marked as "best answer."
- Awesome ! - finally an answer I can work with, yay.
Genius! We have confirmed that this also works on a Mac (using ⌘W instead of ^W, because Apple).
- You are amazing. Thank you so much for providing this information. You've made my entire school's lives much easier.
TheLocalizer YOU ABSOLUTELY WIN THE DAY!!!!! LOL The fact that Microsoft simply didn't put an X to close the **bleep** window just shows how absolutely out-of-touch they are with their user base....and how much they ignore feedback.
I like to equate this company to the dinosaur politicians trying to legislate the internet, or anything tech-related. It's time to put term limits on software company executives.... XD
P.s: I passed along this information to global teams channel for my company and my "like" notifications are blowing up. So passing all those likes to you TheLocalizer you rock again!- Haha you brought a smile to my face today, glad to help. Happy Friday 🙂
