    Now is there a registry key to make it fade out faster?

    It stays on my desktop for about 5 seconds before slowly fading out, blocking anything under it.

    Now Messenger shows the same OSD


    How annoying, I fixed the volume OSD from Chrome now when I've got the Win 10 Messenger app open I get the same volume OSD but from 'Messenger'/ These things always seems to be forced on us. Instead, just tell us about a new feature and I can figure out if I want it or not!

    Does anyone know how to remove the OSD without closing the Win 10 Messenger App??

    HideVolumeOSD

    Download version 1.2

    (It's a top level overlay, it hides the entire OSD, including Volume, on the Desktop and Lock Screen)
    (Player Controls will still show on the right side of the Lock Screen)

    FYI... In my case Chrome did not have a Media Session Service in about:flags.
    However, disabling "Hardware Media Key Handling" did do the job.

    I've used this site to resolve many issues over the years to much success. Unfortunately, this did not work. In my case for some reason the OSD is disabled. It used to work when I first got this PC, but disappeared. I only have the basic volume OSD, and enabling the media control portion of it doesn't seem to work.

    Oh. My. God! That solved the problem!

    I was also having an issue with the browser ransoming the audio (taking full and exclusive control) from other apps like fullscreen games and stuff, which has been solved as well using this very same trick, once I've disabled it in all the installed browsers.

    Someone give this guy a MEDAL!
    Thank you very much!

    (PS1: Chrome: chrome:flags -> search for Hadware Media Key Handling and disable it)
    (PS2: Firefox: about:config -> search for media.hardwaremediakeys and disable it)

    Welcome to TenForums.
    It's really worth making time to browse through the Tutorial index - there's a shortcut to it at the top of every page.
    - At the foot of the Tutorial index is a shortcut to download it as a spreadsheet.
    - I download a new copy each month so I can benefit from Excel's filtering capabilities when I search for topics of interest.
    - Tutorials are also listed by category at Tutorials - there's also a shortcut to that at the top of every page.
    - Both tutorial pages are searchable.
    - You can also search for TenForumsTutorials in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:tenforums.com/tutorials after your search term. For example, taskbar toolbars site:tenforums.com/tutorials

    - And note that you can also search TenForums threads [rather than just searching tutorials] in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:tenforums.com after your search term. For example, taskbar toolbars site:tenforums.com [This is what the search box in the top-right corner of TenForums webpages does automatically]

    It Is Back Again!
    We disabled the 'media key handling' flag a long time ago, yet today in July 2021, it's back again.
    We go back to chrome flags again and find that the feature is once again enabled by default. We once again disable it.
    The gigantic overlay is now gone but guess what? The Volume Up/Down Slider is Still Shown!

    Now what do we do to eliminate that unneeded little overlay?

    In the current version of Edge, there is no such flag.
