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...

reset, repair doesn't work no more :((( Someone help me fix this!!!
I started using the classic version and it works fine. Thank God!!!
Going back to Classic gives the ability to hide the chat list, however, the Classic version doesn't work for those who have to use 2 work accounts. The new version gave this ability but then took away the ability to auto-hide the chat list...STUPID!!
Please correct this immediately!
I've been on New Teams for over a year now, and it has ALWAYS hid when I had my Teams window shrunken to the smallest it can be. As of the last update or two since maybe early August I was not able to get the chat toolbar to auto-hide. This was changed by an update from Microsoft, seriously! Back in August when it first happened, I found a thread on the Support pages here that mentioned zooming in with pressing ctrl and then zooming with the mouse scroll wheel. That worked, I scrolled in one or two times and it finally went away. Yesterday, I got another Teams update and now I can't even get it to work off with zooming in with the scroll wheel, the chat toolbar remains open all the time. I DO NOT WANT THE TEAMS WINDOW FULL SCREEN, PERIOD! I only have dual monitors, not 3, and I have the internet opened with Outlook, and Teams. I cannot have Outlook shrunken because of my calendar. I'm an IT guy, I need visibility on all 3 windows. Forcing the Chat toolbar of pinned chats opened makes it a real pain to see the chats from others in each pinned chat. This is not ok, look at the amount of people replying to this change, and again I will reiterate, THIS WAS NOT SOMETHING THE SOFTWARE DID PRIOR TO THE PAST TWO UPDATES! NOT AT ALL, THE CHAT TOOLBAR AUTO-HID, AND THIS IS A CHANGE YOU GUYS MADE!
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.
