Fix the Most Annoying MS Teams Bug: Reveal Hidden Tabs While Presenting

🀯 The Problem: Teams Toolbar Hides Your Tabs

If you ever share your screen in Microsoft Teams, you’ve probably run into this: the floating presenter toolbar sits right on top of your browser tabs β€” hiding them completely.

Every time I present, I find myself stuck. I can’t switch to the tabs I need. Super frustrating.

πŸ€” Why Existing Workarounds Don’t Cut It

  • Click the toolbar and press Ctrl+W β€” but you have to remember the shortcut every time instead of focusing on the presentation.
  • Dragging the toolbar somewhere else β€” but then it’s floating awkwardly over the page, covering content and getting in the way.

πŸ› οΈ My Simple Fix: A Tiny Chrome Extension

So I made a tiny extension that just shifts the browser window down to reveal the tabs β€” nothing fancy.

πŸ”½ Click the icon β†’ window resizes below the toolbar
πŸ”Ό Click again β†’ window restores to full height

Hear's the demo:

That’s it. No permissions, just a small fix for a niche problem.

πŸ”— Try It Out

Happy to hear any feedback or suggestions β€” hope it helps someone else who presents regularly via Teams.
