Teams not displaying full screen

Question

I can not use the task bar three dots to select full screen any more.

Also, I now have this odd banner on the bottom making the screen someone is sharing me even smaller to begin with.

Lastly, the task bar is static on the top as well.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Answer 1

Hello Lawrence,

There are reports recently from other Teams users regarding the new meeting experience bug.

For the task bar, can you Sign out then Sign in again in Teams app? This way your app settings will be reset.

For hiding participants below the screen, it can be hidden if you enable full screen after new meeting experience turned off.

I hope this helps.

Thank you

If you want the task bar removed at the top and bring back the full screen mode:
Please go to - Profile -> Settings -> General -> Under Application -> Disable [Turn ON new meeting experience] -> Restart Teams

Please let me know if you have any questions or concern.
Thank you

Thank you Veejay for your prompt response.  Unfortunately it did not resolve the issue.  The same two areas I denoted with red arrows still exist.  After restart I did make sure that the area you wanted disabled was in fact disabled so if you have any other suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

For clarification I would like the task bar to exist but to do so in a manner as it did before.  It was there if you rolled the cursor in the area but disappeared when not in use.

Have a great day and stay safe,
