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?

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
After putting up with it for a couple of weeks, I broke down and did "reset". At first, the side panel was once again collapsing, so it look good. Then, I clicked the "Update" button at the top and it's back to not collapsing unless I zoom in to oversize the text. It's a royal pain.
I was able to fix this issue. I completely uninstalled teams from my computer and restarted my computer. Than after resinstalling it the tab collapsed as it shouldn
This also worked for me, thank you!
I'm here to add that this bug really hurts those of us who use 1080 screens. I need multiple programs open and teams used to fit nicely to the side but now
I see the text all squished like
this and it's really annoying
and hard to read when you
have more than two
sentences. I refuse to think
this was an intentional feature.

Reseting, Reinstalling, Signing out, etc are all temporary workarounds that work for a day or two and then it goes back to being locked/stucked and will no longer auto-collapse.
This seems to be either a "feature", which is completely stupid or a bug that MS needs to fix ASAP. Either case, it's stupid and needs to be fixed.
