Hi all, The way I work is that I have Teams open on the half of my 3rd small screen (laptop). Today I realized that recent chats pane just stay open which means that actual chat is now 1/4 of the screen.... (small slice) Previously I had to hover over chats icon and then select which chat I want to answer. This feature works when I zoom in A LOT (ctrl +) but it's impossible to work this way. I tried following things: Resize Teams window from both sides Move Teams window from left to right and then resize Unpin/Pin Chats icon Modify settings.json file with different settings...no luck Details: Microsoft Teams version: 24193.1805.3040.8975 Teams Client version: 49/24080212008 Everything works fine under version: 49/24071128825 Can somebody assist please? :) TO SAVE YOUR TIME - USE THIS FIX Go to apps and features found the app > clicked advanced options scroll down to the reset area and choose reset the app this is apparently a glitch that happens sometimes

hover over the magnifying glass and click expand search box

I clicked on the link from the reply to the original poster from the Microsoft employee. It was one of the 1st ones.

How do I make Teams chats auto hide and open only when I hover over them?

Hi all,

The way I work is that I have Teams open on the half of my 3rd small screen (laptop).

Today I realized that recent chats pane just stay open which means that actual chat is now 1/4 of the screen.... (small slice)

Previously I had to hover over chats icon and then select which chat I want to answer.

This feature works when I zoom in A LOT (ctrl +) but it's impossible to work this way.

I tried following things:

Resize Teams window from both sides
Move Teams window from left to right and then resize
Unpin/Pin Chats icon
Modify settings.json file with different settings...no luck

Details:
Microsoft Teams version: 24193.1805.3040.8975

Teams Client version: 49/24080212008
Everything works fine under version: 49/24071128825

Can somebody assist please? :)
