Move Remote Session Toolbar

Is there a way to move the remote session toolbar?

I only need it to move it to the right by 1/4 screen but on the side would be fine too.

Generally I have it collapsed but it is still obstructing some buttons.

    Hi Stuart,

    Interesting question 👀

    I didn´t know the answer myself and needed to test it.

    So - this was my setup:

    • I connected from a Windows 10 computer to a MacBook

    And the answer is: Partly - That means: It is not possible to move the whole toolbar, but you can move the little extra area a bit which might already be a little help.

    As you can see, I moved the little part that remains when collapsing the remote toolbar with the little table-looking icon? (I need to check with our product team to find out what this icon should be 🤷‍♀️).

    I created a quick gif, that explains it even better:

    If you want, you can upload an idea to our Ideas Hub to explain your idea and need to make the toolbar movable here: Ideas Hub — TeamViewer Support

    In any case - Thanks for your question and let me know whether my reply was a little help.

    Thanks, Esther

  • Hi Esther,

    Love the effort you went to with the gif; your response is excellent.

    Did not realise that wee doofer was movable; at least I can move it to cover buttons I use least often.

    But yeah I did mean the full bar.

    I'll definately be putting in a feature rquest.

    Much appreciated

    Stuart

    Thanks for your feedback, Stuart!

    I am super happy to hear you like the gif 🤩 Most things are just easier to explain with a little video.

    I also had no clue that it was movable but - hey - now we know 🙌

    Thanks for uploading this as a feature request.

    Have a lovely day,
