How do I disable an app's display scaling for notch compatibility?
I have a 2021 M1 Pro MacBook Pro with a notch at the top of the screen. The OS is macOS Monterey 12.0.1.
I've seen that there is a setting for scaling down the screen for compatibility with apps that don't account for the notch, but I don't know where this setting is. When I open TeamViewer and fullscreen the window with the remote computer's display in it, macOS automatically scales it for notch compatibility, meaning that the screen shrinks on the top, left, and right. However, the remote computer's display is 16:9 so it wouldn't go behind the notch anyway.
I would like to disable this compatibility shrinking such that I get to use the full width of my display for TeamViewer (or likewise for any other app). How do I do this?
The setting is called "Scale to fit below built-in camera", which is a checkbox in the app's info panel:
- Open Finder and go to Applications
- Find TeamViewer, Right-Click or Ctrl-Click it, and choose Get Info
- Uncheck Scale to fit below built-in camera
Worth knowing that, if you do happen to find an app that has compatibility problems with the notch, this checkbox is available for all non-built-in apps, so you can check it to use this scaled mode!
