Full-screen chat as default for collaboration setup

Thank you @martin, this works great!

Testing the UX in my current case, it actually feels more intuitive to have Chat full-screen all the time. I want Chat to be the primary mode of communication, and allowing it to be minimized users can end up on a screen they didn’t intentionally choose before, which can be confusing.

I’m thinking of just using CSS to hide the minimize option, unless there’s a more direct way to disable it?


@jahan_gagan I’m not quite sure what you were referring to, is this on sites that use a hamburger menu for navigation? In my setup, all navigation options are available via the sidebar.

One issue I’ve run into though: on tablets the keyboard automatically pops up when navigating to a chat channel and it causes a very jumpy layout. I haven’t looked into addressing that, just noting it as a complication.
