How can I expand the conversation panel in Teams?
A good 1/3 of my Teams Conversation UI is wasted empty-space. I would like more room to view the conversation and any quoted items that are shared between team users.
In the included image, I have included a quoted item that is a pain to try and read with the limited viewing space available. Makes sharing and quickly collaborating on issues an awful experience using Teams.
Is there an option available to expand the space available for conversations, so I can use all available monitor space?
Chuck_Gawlik - click the small A with a paintbrush in the bottom left of the new conversation and it'll open up a larger chat window that also has editing capabilities:
Select Format to see all your formatting options.
There are lots of formatting options for messages.
To open your formatting options, select Format
beneath the box where you type your message. In this expanded view, select the text you want to format, then choose an option like B, I, or U to bold, italicize, or underline the text.
There are also options for highlighting, font size, lists, and more. Check out More options
For additional formatting options, and the buttons below the box for attaching a file or inserting fun stuff like emoji.

Hey Chuck -
I was looking recently to do just this and found that if you go Top Right of your chat window and click the three black dots - you get a drop down menu
Then just click Open in new window, and its the chat only. No side bars or menus. 😀
Good Luck
Chuck_Gawlik Best response is not completely related to the question.
The answer is: go to Settings >> General >> choose chat density CompactThis is the only right answer. So-called "best response" should be deleted, as it is completely wrong.
It should be noted that in the latest version of Teams, this option exists not under General but under "Appearance and accessibility".

I don't think this answer is relevant in any way to the OP very well written question. With a screenshot that was illustrating the problem clearly there is no way one could misunderstand what Chuck_Gawlik was originally asking about.
