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.
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!

Hello:
Try going to the app settings (through the computer settings - not the app settings) and scroll down till you find the "repair" and "reset" button. I had the same issue and it was driving me crazy, but I first tried the "repair" button and then the "reset" button and it worked. Now, I can have the zoom at 80% as well, and the chat list panel hides automatically. It won't reset your account data, you may just have to log in again. I hope this helps :)
I am also mildly annoyed by this. I would like to have the option to hide the Chat List reinstated.
