how to hide the chat panel in teams?

I like to keep my teams small so previously, with 80% zoom and the teams window as small as possible, I realized that the chat panel would auto hide and it would show only when I hover my mouse over Chat.

However, recently chat panel would stay open so it is taking up quite a space in my small teams window. Does anyone know how to make this chat panel auto hide itself?

Only way to make it hide is if I make the zoom 115% which is ridiculously large for me...

    I just tried from 105% to 80% and it does not auto hide for me. It only works at the moment on 115% as provided by PeteLVF

    Thanks for the 115% zoom solution. It works althought the fonts are bigger but its better this way for the chat is hide now.

    Thank you for this! Can't say I'm like the zoom at 115% but it is definitely better than the chat menu taking up all that space in the teams window.

    I've found a temporary solution for this - by setting the zoom level to 115% in the 3 dot menu next to your profile icon, the auto-hiding feature returns

    Thank you, it'll do for now. Hopefully they see this update as a mistake.
