Anyone know if there's a way to hide the default Teams meeting control task bar at the bottom of the screen so I can take screenshots of what is being shared/displayed on the without that in the way? Thanks.

Also, Teams isn't a "Category" option when I'm posting this. Nor is it listed in the "Office Topic" while "Skype" still is. Might want to update that since Teams has been released. As such, I'm having to post in "Unknown/Other".

Moved from Unknown/other  / Windows 10  / Unknown/other

Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Teams for business | Other

Hi BenBo_2020,

Thanks for post your question in our forum, I have moved your thread to the correct category “Office 365 for admins  / Microsoft Teams  / Office 365 for business”, if you have any other questions when using Teams in the future, welcome to post a new thread in our forum.

Based on your description, you want to hiding the Teams control task bar (like below picture). I just tested this on my side, the task bar will auto hiding after you move your mouse outside of the sharing screen for a while. Could you please test this on your side to see if this works for you?

Hope above information helps. Please feel free to share the result with us or let me know if you need further suggestions, I'll happy to continue to help you.

Best regards,

Jennifer

    Right. users want  to move the Control Bar  out of the way.

    I was just pointing out that TEAMS we are using  is not working like the the TEAMS on the TV commerical .

    (Google it  to verify ..I tried to insert a screen shot from YouTube here but it didn't stick ).

    If Microsoft fixed it for the  TV people, they should fix it for us .

    Bottom line, users want to control the bar.  I want to move it out of the way.  All these workarounds becasue microsoft has decided eother it knows better than users or wont take the time to make this a grab and move bar, or an on/off.   We have hundreds of users in my company who are lamenting the move to Teams for meetings.   This being one of the reasons.  I will comtinue scheduling in Skype, Zoom and Webex until my company threatens me.

    I completely agree, this is a feature we should be able to manage manually. This is really annoying.
