Unable to collapse the left side panel in teams anymore

I also just started experiencing this issue on Mac. Very annoying -- I basically have wasted space on my screen because I'm forced to keep the pane open.

I want the pane to collapse and reopen when I hover my mouse near it like it used to. Such a better workflow.

Please fix.

Version 24215.1002.3039.5089 (24215.1002.3039.5089)

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.

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.

This fix worked for me on a previous version, but did not with the current (latest). Microsoft Teams (for Mac) Version 24215.1002.3039.5089 (24215.1002.3039.5089)

I was able to fix this issue. I completely uninstalled teams from my computer and restarted my computer. Than after resinstalling it the tab collapsed as it shouldn

1. My interface does not have "two diagonal arrows icon as the Collapse tab at the top-right corner of the screen when you open a tab in a Teams channel".
2. "Window > Zoom" does not zoom. It maximizes the app to fit the width of my screen. (selecting it again reduces it to the previous width).
3. A "Collapse app in the sidebar toggle" does not exist in Settings > Appearance (nor anywhere else?)

I thought perhaps Teams for Mac differs wildly from the PC version, but browsing through these comments, unless we're ALL on Mac, we're being led down a path that simply does not exist.

Dear help me please:),

 

Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to help you.

I’m sorry to hear you’re experiencing this issue with the new Microsoft Teams. Here are a few steps you can try to get the left side panel in Microsoft Teams to collapse again:

• Look for the two diagonal arrows icon labeled as the Collapse tab at the top-right corner of the screen when you open a tab in a Teams channel. Clicking this should toggle the left side panel.
• Sometimes, adjusting the zoom level can help. Click on the three dots next to your profile picture, go to Settings > General, and set the zoom level to 100%.
• If the above steps don’t work, try increasing the resolution of your monitor. This can sometimes affect how elements are displayed in Teams.
• Have you checked to make sure the “Collapse app in the sidebar” toggle switch is turned on? Go to Settings > Appearance and look for the “Collapse app in the sidebar” toggle switch. Make sure this is turned on.
• You’ve already tried this, but just to ensure, have you tried clearing the cache again by following these steps:
  1. Close Microsoft Teams.
  2. Navigate to %appdata%\Microsoft\Teams on your computer.
  3. Delete the contents of the Cache folder.
  4. Restart Teams.

If none of these steps work, please let me know and we can explore other options. Please note that our initial response does not always resolve the issue immediately. However, with your help and more detailed information, we can work together to find a solution. Thank you for your help.
