Close app- go into the start menu- microsoft teams- right click- more- settings- reset. None of the other things worked, but this did.
This worked. Did Terminate and then Reset.
I had dark mode on initially and it booted up with light mode and back with the chat section minimized.
Thank you!
Edit: It has been 3 working days (09/09/24) using Teams daily, full shift and issue has not reoccurred after fix.
Edit 2; Jinxed myself. Issue returned about 4 hours into shift. Did Terminate and Reset again. Resolved again. Probably going to be a reoccurring issue up till or if ever its addressed.
