dlivezey Thank you for the information! I checked my version and it's updated, but the Focus on content is still not works. My profile pic is still stay there and the content size stays the same... 😞

I don't know what should I do to resolve this issue.

I think it is a rolling fix. Mine was updated 2 days ago to the version containing the fix, but the fix was only applied today. We just have to wait.

    From the additional feedback everyone is providing I would agree, probably dependent on which build your IT department has deployed.
    Still sounds like though regardless of build, Microsoft is still missing the message that a true full screen is needed (that has no black bars/space anywhere on the screen with a hover menu)

      The issue has been fixed now for me now in version 1.4.00.35564 (64-bit). It was last updated on 1/25/2022.
      I had to manually check for updated in Teams today to get this version (wasn't automatic yet).

        That is weird... I also got the update for 1.4.00.35564 (Desktop version, on windows 10) a few days ago, but the issue is not fixed. Focus is still displaying the "empty gallery" black bar on the right side.

        EDIT: Today on 31.01, focus is working again as expected. Interestingly Teams version didn't change and it still shows last updated on 24.01, although behaviour changed completely from 29. till 31...
