Y'all closed the last thread about this so I'm opening a new one. The problem is still the same and the implementation still gets in the way of people doing business with your tool. What I don't understand is why the previous thread was closed with so many people over years complaining of the same problem. The toolbar getting in the way leads to wasted time telling others to wait to proceed so you can see what is on the screen. Come on, Microsoft, you can fix this.
A new post to reflect that this has been discussed and responded to numerous times in the thread "Hiding Teams Control Task Bar (at Bottom of Teams Screen) During a Meeting (So Screenshot of Shared Screen is Clean)". Despite being in the 'answered' state, this is still a major problem. The core problem is not related to screen shots, but usage in general.
The Teams Tool Bar is constantly in the way of presentations. Either my own, or the presenters. A mechanism is required to allow the user to manually hide, move or pin elsewhere the Teams Tool bar.
Please fix.

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.
I would like to endorse this feature as well. It is near impossible to switch browser tabs in full screen view as the bar keeps getting in the way. I would like the option to move it, or just make it go away as it doesn't add anything but pain.
Same here. This is frustating me in every screen sharing session !
The center top is the worst place.
Please address this problem as it hits every user several times a day.
Not helpful.
While sharing, if you need to click any open tab in your browser the sharing toolbar blocks it can does not collapse out of the way. You basically CANNOT access any tab at the top of the screen while sharing! I have to manually make my screen smaller each time so my open tabs are not at the top of the screen just so I can click on them without the toolbar coming up and blocking the top of the page. Terrible user testing if you couldn't figure out this is an issue.
Am sorry about that Roderick
Hello,
I'm Josephine, happy to help you today. I am an independent advisor and a customer like you
I'm very sorry about the inconvenience. Normally a thread closes automatically after 72 hours so that would be the case with the previous one. I hope a solution is gotten this time around.
Open Microsoft Teams.
Start a call.
Move the mouse away/off the taskbar.
The taskbar will disappear in a few seconds.
I would be expecting a reply to this thread
Sincerely,
Josephine.
