why does teams now replace the normal close / min / max buttons on macos:
with:
when sharing your desktop (or window).
this is the same icon that is shown in the notification bar when screen sharing, but annoyingly replaces the window chrome... and teams is the only application to do this.
OBS studio (which records / captures the desktop) does not do this.
Zoom does not do this...
only microsoft.
why?
please remove this annoyance.

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Quick update: The fix is now with 5% of customers in the public release, and we are continuing to roll it out. I will post one more update when everybody has the fix.
I'am a new user, because Skype will end.
Please Microsoft,... solved this thing, because I'am an online software teacher, and my presentation slow down a lot, because of this issue. In Cinema 4D you have a lot of windows,..so closing these windows are very slow now. Instead of 1 speed click, I need to click and choose an option... :S PLEASE...
PS: I wrote a feedback too.
do yourself a favor, and continue using skype until it fails to open. if possible look for an alternative (unless your school has mandated the switch already, in which case, condolences).
I use both and will not migrate my skype account over to teams (a whole other issue.. as teams cannot "switch" between accounts easily, or "use multiple" accounts in the same window simultaneously... i have 4-5 "teams" accounts between our company, parent company, microsoft (corporate), and a hand-full of other companies, but have deleted all the other accounts because switching is terrible UX).
the best thing micosoft could do would be to follow John Carmack's initiatives in open sourcing "things" they're done with. skype is hands down a better tool than teams for what it does, but since they can't monetize it like they can teams, they should put its source into the open source community for those who still want to use it (esp. given its unique p2p architecture, unless they gutted that since acquiring it from the kazaa developers back in the day).

I have egg on my face, I realize that. 😒
This fix got held up by a regression but continues to be rolled out as we speak. I won't make the mistake again of giving you another date, because that is a recipe for disappointment, should some other unforeseen circumstance materialize.
I am very sorry I have created this disappointment. That was far from my intention.
My intention continues to be to let you know that we hear you, we fixed the issue, and the fix is being rolled out.
Please continue to hold us to a high standard. We want to do better, and we are continuously working on achieving this.
I will post another reply here when I have verified that this fix is available in the Public facing release.
