replacing close/min/max buttons when screen sharing on macos?

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.

    HI Steve,

    Thanks for coming back. I was actually replying to De Paul. I understand the situation as being a Microsoft issue (not a feature) and that Apple has little to do with it. I have also followed the feedback advice to Microsoft. Hopefully enough other people will get sick of their desktop being mutilated too.

    Very annoying and I have heard people complain about it in many meetings.

    Please fix this bug as soon as possible. It I really should not be called a feature.
