I want to know if I can move the menu bar from the top of the teams window to the bottom? I have my camera at the top of my screen, and want faces to be as close to the top as possible so I am almost looking into the camera lens. Is this possible? Couldn't find way to adjust in settings.

    I'm genuinely baffled by the design choices in Microsoft Teams, particularly when it comes to screen sharing. The top menu bar becomes a major hindrance, as it obscures browser tabs and other important screen elements. It's beyond me why there isn't an option to customize or move this menu. This lack of flexibility in the interface design not only hampers usability but also indicates a disregard for user experience. It's high time developers paid more attention to these practical aspects, ensuring that tools are not just feature-rich but also user-friendly. I hope Microsoft takes note of this and implements a more thoughtful design in future updates.

    The banner, when I'm sharing my screen, gets in the way of web browser tabs, making me have to get the browser out of max mode, change tabs and put it back into max mode quite often. Please fix this so I can hide the top menu bar when I'm presenting. Thanks.

    Quoted for truth. Why kind of garbage design is this? Can't move the presenter bar? Must leave it on top of web browser tabs? Zoom implemented this feature ages ago, get with it Microsoft.

    Yeah, why do they need "Feedback"??

    It's such a cop out. Oh, you don't like something? Go to to this other page, and tell us why you don't like something, and wait years for while we ignore the problem..

    It's completely obvious that it's a stupid design.
