My sidebar is super small in Microsoft teams (the place that holds your apps and profile) and the team select shows the channels being really small as well.

    Hi @Aadi Shah,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Thank you very much for the update and for taking the time to share your findings with us.

    I truly appreciate your effort in investigating this behavior and following up with a clear explanation. Your observation regarding the Ctrl + + shortcut in Microsoft Teams, where it adjusts the sidebar size rather than zooming the entire page is very helpful and provides valuable clarification. This kind of proactive troubleshooting is greatly appreciated and will certainly be useful for future reference.

    Should you have any additional questions, encounter other issues, or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out. I'm always happy to help.

    Wishing you a great day ahead.

    I found it... normally ctrl and + zooms in the entire page, so you would thing it would not work, but turns out for teams it just makes the sidebars bigger...
