Scrollbars showing in full screen mode

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi, I'm connecting to my Ubuntu 20 machine at home from my Ubuntu 20 laptop at work, both screens are 1920x1080, but when I enter fullscreen mode I get scrollbars on my window on the client.

Is there any way to turn them off and clearly, they shouldn't be appearing in the first place.

Hello,

I have the same problem, still no workaround for it ?

This problem still seems to exist in 2025… using Ubuntu 22.04 and TeamViewer 15.61.3.

When the remote machine has the same screen resolution as my local monitor (2560 x 1440 in this case), when I go into full screen mode I see scrollbars on the right and bottom sides. This is unacceptable.

A rather impractical workaround is to go into full screen mode and then adjust the display resolution on the remote machine to something else (e.g. 1920 x 1080) and then switch it back to 2560 x 1440, at which point the scrollbars disappear. This is not a good solution, though, because if you leave full screen mode and then go back into full screen mode, the scrollbars come back. Awful.

Surely there is way to make this work properly, otherwise what is the point of the "full screen" mode at all?
