Hi @Samanm, Thanks for the request! You can interact with MeetingBar only through this icon, so if remove it, you will completely lose the ability to interact with the app. So I'm sorry, but I have to decline this request because it's intentional by design.

Hi all 👋 I was interested in this feature, too. What about to start interaction with the app by normally opening it (from Dock or Launchpad or however). This way it would start if not running in background already. Or open the preferences if already running. Then from the preferences one could choose to show or hide a sole icon. I know this behaviour from other background apps.

@leits I agree with @lecodeski above. I know many apps utilize the same approach by offering an icon in the Dock.
