    Hi EmbryFAY,

    Thanks for your post in our forum. About the problem you described, I tested this on my side but failed to reproduce this issue.

    Given this situation, please open Teams and click on the View menu to make sure the option "Toggle Full Screen" is not selected. For your reference: 

    Moreover, please make sure the Teams client is not in full screen mode, then you may completely exist Teams and re-start Teams to see if this will make any difference.  

    Besides, you may also try to disable the option "Auto-start application" in Teams Settings to prevent Teams from automatically starting when launching your Mac.

    Best regards,

    Jennifer

    Hello,

    I have a similar problem and maybe it's not in the "view/Full screen" but in the "Windows/Zoom" menu where reside the issue.

    Every time Teams is starting, its windows is in "full screen" but not in the native MacOs full screen mode : it is just the Teams windows that expand to the whole screen.

    I alway need to clic on "Windows/Zoom" to get the windows return to it normal size.

    Thank you

    Eric
