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 agree. I am completely annoyed that my chat menu panel no longer auto hides.
I have spent many hours attempting to fix the problem discussed here only to find that it is not something that can be fixed and may have been deliberate. Now the Chat panel takes up valuable screen space -- which makes engineering in the field or the lab *very* difficult.

Yes i am very annoyed now that my small Teams window need to display the unnecessary displayed CHAT. Please re-enable this hide function back again. This is taking up alot of my screen space!!
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
