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.
I have tried all of the suggested fixes and found the only thing that works is to set my zoom to 115%.
That's not great, I'd like to have it at 80%.
Can we fix this bug please?
I did this same thing, and it worked until I closed teams and re-opened the next day. Sidebar was right back and would not collapse no matter what I did.
This solution works for me for a brief period then the app shows an update available, and the loop starts over again.
YES!!! I am at peace again! I had to make my zoom at exactly 105% in order for me to not feel the "pane" anymore. Thank you!!!
I am experiencing this problem as well. I attempted, as others, to follow the steps outlined above in order to correct the issue, but as others, the two diagonal arrows described in the support answer do not exist for me, nor does the option under "appearance and accessibility" to toggle the sidebar collapse on/off.
Perhaps if these issues could be remedied, or if you could inform us what version of Teams your support team is referring to, we could provide more details.
My system is owned by my organization, but these are the details I am able to provide at a glance:
