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...

    Yay!! It is working for me as well... Maybe Microsoft got the hint and changed it back. In any case it is now fixed for me. I went back down to 100% zoom and the list is hidden unless I hover my mouse over it.

    Seems to be working for me now after a Windows update today. I am not sure if MS Teams also updated - the versioning is unclear.
