Wondows 11: How to minimize the “connect” window after maximizing it?

Once the “connect” window is maximize, it appears that there are no tools to minimize it.

Any thoughts?

Once the Connect app is running and maximised, it is ready to display an incoming projection full screen. The menu bar is hidden so it won't get in the way, it will appear only when you move your mouse cursor to the top of the screen.
