Windows Snap Layout not supported

Teams doesn't work with Windows Snap layout feature. Hovering over the Maximize icon, teams doesn't provide the standard windows options that other apps provide.
Also it doesn't work with Groups of Windows that are in the Snap layout.

    Ketan Ghelani I have found that though Teams does respond to snap layouts, it does not fit within the 1/4 screen division and extends well beyond it.

    Does anyone know why Snap Layouts don't work with Teams?

      jpwbikes I've noticed that hovering over the maximize button doesn't invoke the snap layouts window, but the shortcut key (win+z) works.

        Well, that's annoying. Microsoft...are you listening?

    I'm using a preview version of Teams right now that supports snap layouts, so there's a sign a fix may be in an upcoming release.

        It provides humor to ease the tension caused by the frustration of a Microsoft product not having the native capability to utilize a feature within its own platform. It was my hope, considering this is a social 'community', that my facetiousness would be a method to insert some humanity and help build a stronger connection through a simple text window.

    Hoping Teams will work with hovering over max icon in a future iteration. I don't know how many times I've tried to snap Teams by moving my cursor over the maximize icon!
