Unable to collapse the left side panel in teams anymore

As of yesterday, the display of my teams will no longer collapse the left side panel. I've tried settings, restarting the app, and restarting the computer. It used to open after selecting one of the options next to it, like chat or teams and then it would automatically close after I selected what I wanted from those options. How do I get it to collapse again?

    One of my smart users realized that if she set her zoom in Teams to 115%, the left pane collapses when you drag the drag any side border to narrow the width of the Teams app enough, and when expanded the left pane reappears.

    Thank you, I just did this and it worked! As I mentioned previously, I work for a large company and do not have admin access, so I'll take this as a temporary fix. Hopefully Microsoft will make a permanent fix.

    As everyone here has confirmed, your provided steps do not resolve the issue. Is there a fix that's being implemented to revert the change? It's been over 2 weeks with no proper resolution. If so, when is the expected release of the update? I'm encountering this issue on Mac.

    I uninstalled it and it went back with all saved data. I guess this is the fix. Thanks to everyone who helped. (Take the rest of the day off...lol)

    Hi

    I had the same issue. I reset the Teams app, and the problem was fixed.
