It is annoying and seems like it it would be an easy fix to have that open in its own window that could be moved

It would be nice to control the **** bar in the middle of the screen. Cannot take screen shots cannot view information uless I am in full screen mode.

This is an annoyance and a distraction. It needs to be under user control. I believe that is spelled out in the Constitution somewhere... :)

I am incredulous MSFT are not fixing this fundamental usability problem. Please Microsoft, contact some users to understand why they need thisrelatively simple feature of being able to relocate the control bar. OR JUST TRY TO USE IT YOURSELF, GET A COLLEAGUE TO SCREEN SHARE A COMPLEX SCREEN, TOUCH YOUR MOUSE, AND YOU WILL SEE THAT THE IMMOVABLE BAR HAS JUST OBSCURED PART OF THE PRESENTERS SCREEN.

The current behaviour is very anoying. In particular on single screens where user wants to see as much as possible from other person's screen, I can't move the mouse outside the current screen. As the tool bar is even at a fixed place, some parts of the other screen can't be seen at all. Please add such a feature!!!

Please allow users ability to lock the toolbar as the disappear/reappear is very annoying for the presenter or if you want to take screen shots of a presentation.

Please at least allow users to move the tool bar to own preferred position. Otherwise, it covers presentation and people's face and very annoying.

This change has to be made ASAP, please. I suspect Microsoft people are not using Microsoft TEAMS for screen sharing. If they used it, this should be already fixed
Thanks -
Misael commented
Yes please change position, and the way to access

agreed, this is annoying that we cannot hide or move this bar while trying to take screenshots.

it is extremely difficult to use TEAMS to train others due to this Tool Bar. I can't demo the section of the screen because the toolbar is in the way. It is really bad design

A huge issue, I use Zoom as a result of this stupid design. It would be so simple to allow the user to move the tool bar!

It is one of the most annoying failures of the user interface. I'm torn between this and the fact that you can't undock the video window completely as the two most harmful "features" to the usability.

definitively a problem which should have been completed since 2018 (google search ;-)

Absolutely agree. I'm bored of that f***g bar that makes some text unreadable during presentations.
It is an indeed function to make it mobile across the screen as needed.
