How do I remove this hint pop-up message on my shared application screens?

There is a kind of "hint" message that displays along the upper corner of the application window, which is impeding upon my ability to work.  the message displayed, "Drag to desktop 2 to share" is obstructing my view.

 

I have a 4-monitor screen set-up, and (while hosting) I'm sharing all windows from a particular application.  The application I've chose to share has multiple windows across all four monitor screens.   I understand to "Share all windows from an application" means I'm required to determine which one of my four monitors will be used to share any windows associated with this app.  I've chose to use "Desktop 2." 

 

Although Zoom doesn't allow me to share multiple monitor screens at once (which I would certainly prefer over sharing multiple app windows in a single screen, since squeezing my 4-monitor workflow into a single monitor is not conducive for displaying my productivity "live" so to speak), I do still appreciate that Zoom allows me some freedom in choosing-at-will the app windows I want to share.  With that said, I don't need the hint to remain displayed.  How do we hide it?  In my case, I'd like to simply prevent it from appearing at all, since I'm already aware of the functionality for sharing app windows.

 

I've provided a screenshot of the instance, here.  Thank you!

Actually, Zoom DOES ALLOW YOU TO SHARE MULTIPLE SCREENS. In the share window just select the multiple screens you want to share (cntrl+window in windows). Just keep in mind that when you share 3 screens with a participant that has only one screen then all 3 screens will appear across their one screen. If they have a 4 screen configuration as well then they can spread those windows across their screens.

Thank you.  Yes, of course.  I misspoke.  I am, simply, (usually) the only person in my immediate production hierarchy with a multi-monitor setup.  Knowing this, and the fact that I'm typically the only one sharing screens, I should've thought twice before trying to make any point about it.  My bad.

 

I don't suppose you have any insight for my primary concern, do you?  Thanks, story!
