Unable to collapse the left side panel in teams anymore

I had already not only uninstalled classic teams, but some 'Persona;' teams that somehow got installed as well, and the problem remains.

Things work a day, maybe two, but it reverts to locking the left navigation pane open and not autoclosing it.

This is, along with Copilot being shoved down my throat but being completely useless for what I do, a source of significant frustration as it adds a number of daily tasks to my work that are unnecessary as I have to fix everything before I can start working efficiently.

Might as well add my complaint to the pile. I use a vertical screen for reading and monitoring chats and teams, so this "feature" is really annoying. As with others, an app reset/reinstall will fix the issue but updating the app breaks it again. Zooming in also eventually fixes it but then I lose so much real estate, so it solves one problem with another problem.

I sent feedback using the feedback button, but want to keep bumping this topic in the forum as well. Hopefully we see a fix soon. The work arounds are tiresome.

This has been a constant struggle for my Workers. It is frustrating that it either is tiny unreadable text or taking up half the screen now.

I have utilized both recommendations above & it works for about 2-4 hrs before it just resets back to that annoying left side tab. Please update and Fix this ASAP

I have a client who is legally blind and depends on the collapse feature to communicate daily. I hope Microsoft is able to enable this feature in the near future seeing as it impacts accessibility.

I have the same issue (on macOS) as do many of my colleagues following an update rolled out today. None of the fixes suggested here have worked for any of us. This has been very disruptive to our workflow (we work on laptops, across two chat platforms and are on the move a lot). A fix would be greatly appreciated.
