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 — hiding them completely.

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

🤔 Why Existing Workarounds Don’t Cut It

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

🛠️ My Simple Fix: A Tiny Chrome Extension

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

🔽 Click the icon → window resizes below the toolbar
🔼 Click again → window restores to full height

Hear's the demo:

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

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