Is it possible to collapse the teams list on the left?
The list of teams, which functions as a navigation panel on the left of the Teams interface, takes up a fair amount of screen real estate. It seems obvious that this should be collapsible, but I have no idea how to collapse it if so. I'm referring to the highlighted area of the image below.
- Sometimes it is, sometimes not! For examples, when you work with files or apps in teams, there’s a icon up on the right corner to expand the right side area. This removes the teams area you are mentioning

- I came here looking for this feature!
Hi gtuckerkellogg The Microsoft Teams Feedback Portal is the place to report bugs or submit feature suggestions to the engineering team. There is already an item on this topic, so we encourage you to upvote it: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/0f7c57b3-272e-ec11-b6e6-00224827b493
Give me ONE just one example where Microsoft ever has listened to the customers where it wasnt already in their own pipeline.
Has any one successfully found out if this is on the roadmap or where the official feature request intake is for the MS Teams Product team?
This is a very necessary feature. The application actually has the ability for responsive UX. If you increase the zoom beyond a specific percentage within the app, the left Teams pane will become dynamic and self hide unless you hover over it.
Microsoft really should work to enable this capability as a setting. So much screen real-estate is lost without this ability.
- It's been 15 months and this very necessary feature is still yet to be added.
In fact, as of today, the sidebar has gotten larger 🥲 I agree 100%. The Teams window takes up entirely to much screen space. It is maddening that the Teams window cannot be minimized. Come on Microsoft please fix this obvious user annoyance. This annoyance is one of the primary reasons I dread using Teams.THD_BBURRETS
At one stage pre-covid there was a trial of this facility, but it seemed to disappear. Did it not work or was a decision made about it for some reason.
Would like to see this capability.
- I'm agree with you it could be very helpfull particolarry for who use a laptop like me with small screen.
- If you mean having always the ability to hide the Teams area, this is a feature we have not Today. You can only do it when you are on a tab
