    How to Hide Taskbar in Win10 (while screen recording)?


    Hi!
    I am looking for a solution to hide the win10 taskbar while streaming or screen recording.
    I tried enabling the Auto-hide option in Win10 Settings but unfortunately when I accidentally hover the taskbar area, it pop-up again and screen recording software capture it.

    I need to be able to temporarily hide the taskbar, possibly enable/disable it with hotkeys.

    Are there are viable programs that have offer this feature?

    Thank all in advance!

    I tried enabling/disabling Lock Taskbar along with Auto-hide on/off. When I hover the mouse over the taskbar, it pops up again.

    Well yeah. It's supposed to do that.
    You can move the mouse cursor anywhere...except the Taskbar.

    I am looking for a way to totally hide the taskbar, even if I accidentally move my mouse over it, it will NOT popup. Maybe a 3rd party program of some sort have this feature.

    Tried this tutorial and TaskBar Hider, it doesn't work anymore. I think the last time the dev has updated the program was 2019.

    Only other thing I can think of, is if you have two screens. You can put the taskbar on one and use the other for streaming or screen recording.

    Two screens suggestion sounds good.

    Check out these programs listed on Softpedia: Taskbar hider

    First and third are free and should still work on Windows 10

    I just tried it. It works. But you have to run it as an administrator for the app to work
    (Put the exe file somewhere, for example on the Desktop, Right click the file -> Run as administrator)
    I kept the Hotkey as Ctrl+Shift+A
