Manually Hide Teams Tool Bar during Presentations, or move it out of the way

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.

    It was posted earlier in the thread :)

    I use New Teams and what do is:

    1. click on anywhere on the bar that is not a button or the pin itself
    2. then press CTRL+W
    3. bingo! it is gone :-)

    Please fix this, Microsoft. This toolbar got in the way of my screenshare session during a big meeting today and it derailed me. Whoever thought it was a good idea to add a fixed toolbar -- with no obvious way to get rid of it -- to the top of the screensharing window should be fired.
