my touchbar is going strange

later yesterday I went on a video call with my brother & I did an airplay on my TV so my parents could see & the touchbar was not displaying anything. I thought nothing of it, I thought it was something to do with airplay. now today & i just updated my mac the inputs still work i can change the volume still with the touchbar but it looks really strange & i would like it to go back to normal.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 14.5
