How to stop seeing shared screen in Skype

Say I chat with someone and he shares his screen. After we finish chatting, he normally ends his screen sharing. But sometimes he forgets doing that and my chat window with him still shows his screen. I could ask him to end sharing but if I don't, there seems to be no way (no button or anything) for me to stop seeing his screen from my end unless I close the entire chat window. (I don't want to close the window because I want to preserve the text in the chat window.) Any suggestion? Thank you!

    Hi @Yong Huang,

    I could ask him to end sharing but if I don't, there seems to be no way (no button or anything) for me to stop seeing his screen from my end unless I close the entire chat window.

    To my knowledge I am afraid there is no other method to achieve this.
