Workaround: have the New meeting experience screen maximized manually by holding the edges and dragging (do not hit the square to maximize), you might be able to see the names
Temporary fix: (this would break again after the client gets updated to the buggy version 1.4.00.4167) you could try to install other version listed on https://whatpulse.org/app/microsoft-teams (the version 1.4.00.4045 worked for me) from https://statics.teams.cdn.office.net/production-windows-x64/1.3.00.33971/Teams_windows_x64.exe

Using full-screen does act as a workaround. But, this is not a preferable workaround as it prevents proper use of other applications simultaneously to using Teams. --- Also, double-clicking header to expand to full-screen works, dragging window to top and auto-expanding to full-screen works too.
Down-reving isn't an option as auto-update (corp policy) simply updates application.
