Can the menu bar be moved during a teams call?

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.

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.

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.

Hi Emily

On the subject of the Teams Whiteboard toolbar, within Templates, the ability to save and share templates seems to have disappeared along with the folder 'my templates'? Do you happen to know if it's still possible to save, reuse and share templates with the updated whiteboard?

Thanks for any help that you can offer - David

Hello Luke, this is Emily.

I'm sorry, but it is not currently possible to move the menu bar from the top of the Teams window to the bottom. The menu bar is a fixed element of the Teams interface and cannot be customized or moved. I will suggest that you use the feedback feature to submit this as a feedback. Click on the Help button on the lower left in Teams, then click on Give Feedback.
