Windows 10: How do I remove the volume media overlay banner in windows 10 not in a browser

How do I remove the volume media overlay banner? the thing isn't in a browser at all I have all of them turned off and I still get it no matter what I do.

How do I remove the volume media overlay banner?

How can I remove the banner overlay?

I know of previous guides and previous threads on the Windows support forums like this one https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...-overlay/4625e08e-6b66-434f-848f-6921e757f1e8
which consistently say that it is a setting in chrome. I have already disabled the chrome feature a few months ago, but the overlay pops up when I have a video playing with Windows' built-in video application (Movies & TV).

I've been unable to find any guides on how to disable it since they all seem to answer the question of disabling the chrome banner. I've also seen other people suggest downloading How to get rid of the Volume OSD in Windows 8 / 8.1 and 10 | Venturi.de,
but this program hides the On-Screen Display (OSD) as a whole instead of just the second part of the banner which displays the source of the audio. I've attached a screenshot of the full OSD while a video is open in the included Movies & TV application. The
same banner appears while the video is open and not playing, with the only difference being a play button instead of a pause button in the middle.

 

Volume bar banner

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand how annoying it can be when you get the Volume bar banner, while playing music/video on Google Chrome.
To have a clarity on this issue, we need some information.

• Was there a major change or an update on your system, prior to which you weren't facing this issue?
  
• Do you receive the same popup when you play music/videos on Edge or Internet Explorer?
  
• Do you have any extensions enabled in Google Chrome for playing music?
  
• Which version of Google Chrome are you using?

However, we suggest you to try this steps and check if you are able to get rid of the banner.

1. Press Windows + I key from the keyboard to open
   Settings.
   
2. Then click on Systems. Then select
   Notifications & actions from the left pane.
   
3. Then under Get notifications from these senders, toggle the switch for
   Audio to disable the Banner and Sound notifications.
   
4. Close all the browser and reopen Google Chrome, to play some
   music/videos.
   
5. Check if you get the Volume bar banner back.

As an additional information, please refer the
Change notification settings in Windows 10 article.



We await your response.
