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.
Like others... none of these options work. @microsoft.... put it back the way it was and stop making updates no one wants!
Close app- go into the start menu- microsoft teams- right click- more- settings- reset. None of the other things worked, but this did.
worked for mine, thanks so much!!! my autism was going nuts lol.
also worked for me.
None of these steps worked for myself or anyone in my Org as well. It's really frustrating. Everyone I work with uses teams in a small window so they can use it while working on other things and we all have our monitors mapped out where we like our programs. Forcing something like this and not letting it be an option has me baffled. I even tried switching back to Classic Teams and it's that way there now too.
By far worst update I've seen.
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.
