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.

Hoover at the top until the large black bar appears. Once it does, I click in the bottom left-hand corner of the toolbar. Then click CTRL+w and it will disappear until you re-share your screen again.
This does NOT work. It stays up there and god forbid if you accidentally hit that instead of the tab you wanted behind it, you can never get rid of it and need to pull the window down away to get where you need to be. New Teams is a mess.
At least in CHROME i figured out to to cycle thru my Browser tabs (especially when hidden behind this awful Sharing TEAMs bar).
Ctrl-TAB (forward) or Shift-Ctrl-TAB (backward).
Not the best way to Share a screen... but it works.
it's a complete joke that this has not been fixed.
WE DON'T WANT THE STUPID BAR - MAKE AN OPTION TO REMOVE IT
it really is that simple - Microsoft proving their incompetence once again.....
how do you get the browser tabs to display "to the right" instead of on top (where this discussion about the Teams bar for sharing is blocking)?
I'm using Chrome, but maybe Edge has that "side display" option?
