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...

The auto-hide was a feature or option. Now it simply stopped working. Microsoft... fix this back the way it was!!!!!
WOW, shame on MS Development Team / QA that actually thought this was a good idea. Looks like our company just pushed the update to all laptops and now I have the same issue. I work on a single laptop/monitor only. MS please do the right thing and let the customer dictate how they would like their windows layout, not how you want it layout.
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.
I agree. I am completely annoyed that my chat menu panel no longer auto hides.
Mine doesn't go any smaller than it is in the screenshot I posted
