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...
Conversations involving multiple participants, allowing collaboration and information sharing in Teams

So this worked for me, but only lasted for a few days. The Chat list is back and won't go away. This is incredibly annoying
This is unacceptable. I have ADHD focus problems, and Microsoft just added 10 tons of word vomit to my sensory overload every time I need to use Teams for work, which is often.
I've taken 2 web design classes in high school. This "feature change" appears to be at the quality level I'd expect from a high school class. Extremely unprofessional.
Microsoft will probably partition this "feature" behind a higher premium paywall, as is their modus operandi these days.
I Am MORE than mildly annoyed w/ this error in Teams.
In addition to the new Teams being too big of a window we now have to see the Chat list of our contacts and teams? This is a complete waste of space and reduces productivity.
Please return the option to auto-hide chats, it's absolutely obtuse and strange that it was removed in the first place. Please, do not make decisions for me on how I want my page laid out.
I am struggling with this also, it suddenly was no longer hidden but in my other office, it's still auto hidden and I've spent so many hours looking for a way to get it back to auto hide that chat list. There is no reason for it to take up that much space! I hope we find a solution!
