Have you always disabled the clock in your Windows taskbar for demonstrations, screen sharing in online meetings, or screen recordings? That feature went away in Windows 11 after being around for decades, and now it's back! Now you can stop automatically hiding your taskbar, recording from a second monitor without a taskbar, or covering up your clock using video editing tools like Camtasia, Adobe Premier Pro, Davinci Resolve, or Clipchamp. In this video I'll show you how to disable your clock in the taskbar and re-enable your clock if yours is missing and you want it back.

Note that you'll need the Windows 11 October 2023 Cumulative Update or newer installed for this feature to light up.
