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?

Finally, something that worked Thank you!!
This really needs to get fixed. I used to be able work around by signing out and going back in, even if it took a couple tries, but Teams did another update this morning and now that fix doesn't even work. It's impossible for me to navigate the Teams channel files without expanding to full screen, and I have other screens I need to work in alongside Teams for that to be acceptable. Why would Microsoft do another update today that made the problem even worse? At least create a fix that doesn't require a company's admin information so that employees can make the program work for their needs.
this did work for me as well, but I have to do it every day - it does not save
It will work until you reboot or it updates again. It's only a temp fix unfortunately.
