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...

Mine was also fixed temporarily but not back to the same thing. No longer- auto-hiding. I did what the first guy did- zoomed to 115.. but this is so stupid!
They must have just fixed in the last hour...restarted Teams Mac and it works!!!
All is right in our Teams world now!
This worked for me! My auto-hide broke on some update, but when I took your advice it finally started working again. Thank you very much for posting this!
I am also voicing displeasure on this change, the web version still has old functionality of hiding the chat list at least.
My choices are to either have my other windows smaller to accommodate Teams needing to be bigger for same functionality, or to have Teams taken up 50% by the chat list and have a highly squashed and hard to comprehend usable space in Teams.
I went to work from my desktop Mac today, where I typically have Teams taking up a portion (maybe just under half one of my monitors), and finding this issue, I thought it just "unchecked" something, or even was a "MacOS" thing, but seeing this makes me feel less alone, and like it's not just me not seeing the setting or if it was just a Mac exclusive issue.
