Tip for not tabbing out while skype screen sharing

I recently had a few coaching sessions to try to improve, and hit an odd problem. While i was screen sharing, when I clicked on the side... the game would alt-tab out. Drove me nuts, because there was no visible reason. ONLY happened while using skype. Then finally I found the culprit.

By default, skype has this stupid extra floaty window on the right side of your screen, during an "active call". Just pressing X on the corner, doesnt make it go away, skype brings it back. Then if you're screen sharing, skype still watches for mouseclicks on that region, even if you are playing LoL full screen!!! And pulls skype to the front if you click on that region >.<

The good news: Go into skype settings, and near the bottom, there is a toggle to disable, "Show out of app ongoing call indicator".

Turn this stupidity OFF.

problem fixed.
