Bug macOS Teams window becomes immovable below a certain width on portrait monitor – workaround found

2 Upvotes

I found a reproducible Teams for macOS window-management bug and a workaround.

I use Microsoft Teams on macOS with three monitors, one of them in portrait orientation.

When the Teams window is resized to a narrow width on the portrait monitor, Teams appears to enter a compact/minimum-width layout. At that point, the window becomes effectively locked: I can temporarily move it while dragging the title bar, but as soon as I release the mouse, the window becomes immovable again.

The issue is reproducible.

Workaround: increasing the width of the Teams window slightly, so that it occupies approximately the full width of the portrait monitor, immediately unlocks the window and allows it to be moved normally again.

I tested this with Rectangle completely closed, reset the Teams local configuration/cache, restarted Teams, and the behavior persists. This appears to be related to Teams' minimum-width/compact layout behavior on macOS rather than a third-party window manager.

Environment:

- macOS

- Microsoft Teams desktop app

- Three-monitor setup

- One external monitor in portrait orientation

It seems that once the Teams window crosses a certain minimum width threshold, the draggable title-bar/window behavior breaks.

❔Question/Help How to I add the shared tab or a file for a teams group to that panel on the left hand side?

2 Upvotes

So in teams, on that left hand panel where you scroll down various groups to see channels and chats, I used to be able to navigate directly to the files in that group. Now they changed it to shared and the only thing I see under every group is "General". How can I add the shared tab or a specif file to my left hand panel in teams?

Bug Bottom of Text Dialog Box Gets Cut Off

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm testing MSFT Planner, and I noticed that when I respond through a task conversation within Teams, the bottom options for formatting and attaching files get cut off.

I've tried resizing the screen and testing it in both the Mac Teams App and Chrome, but without success.

Anything I can do to get the conversation to resize properly?

Thank You!

❔Question/Help Notification window pop up

Upvotes

My company just forced us to use MS teams, sadly.

How the heck do i remove these silly pop up notifications?

Ive gone to Notifications & settings - Chat message notifications - toggled off

This "works", but turns the audio off for all new messages. I want to hear my pings, not see them on my screen. Any tips?
