Zoom goes behind the Windows task bar when going fullscreen when a meeting starts

This mostly obscures the audio and video buttons at the lower left corner. On top of that, it looks bad.

I'm a longtime Windows and Mac developer, so I think you need to do more than just get the main desktop size. 😉

I'd start with a search: taskbar height site:stackoverflow.com

You also want to check whether the taskbar is visible or not, and it can be on the sides or top of the screen, so take that into account.

Hey @ralbury_mb, the typical behavior when in full-screen mode should be that your taskbar is hidden. That is regardless of your taskbar settings. If your taskbar is not hiding properly while using Zoom I would suggest running all suggested updates in the windows update center as well as ensuring that you have the latest version of Zoom installed from zoom.us/download.

I just disabled all the settings which will trigger going into full-screen, like screen sharing. Full-screen is not a great experience on an ultra-wide display.

Restarting Windows' Explorer did the trick for me.
