Windows 10: Hide/change Volume Control in Windows 10?

Hello, is there any way to change or hide the volume control window in Windows 10?

I mean the red-circled window in this image.

I stream on twitch and I don't want it to show the volume source.

Checked the settings and online, but couldn't find anything.


Thank you!

:)
