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

Why do you eggheads insist on "fixing" something that was working just fine previously? The whole point is to make it easier and useful for the user, but no, you had to impulsively revise something that wasn't necessary when the vast majority of users were used to the previous interface. Changing something for the sake of change sounds like a bad case of OCD. Whoever had the "bright" idea to do this should seek mental-health help.

Its only working when we zoom it with 115

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? :)
