How do I resize the chat in Skype 8?
I can't seem to resize the chat portion in the call/chat UI mode of the new Skype 8 user interface. (See image for example)
- How do I make the chat section bigger?
- How do I navigate to a "full-screen chat" mode that I have seen before?

Seems that you can't. But there's a workaround.
- Focus the call
- Resize the entire window so it can't be any smaller
- Hit the "chat bubble" button in the lower left corner
- Resize window to how you want to have it again
And now the chat is full-screen.
If you switch to another contact in your contact's list? You have to repeat this workaround. Same with the "Go to Call" button in the top-right corner, so don't press it.
Another quicker workaround I stumbled across is "creating a new chat" through:
- Pressing left alt to open the system menu
- 'File' menu -> 'New Chat...' entry
- Select the person with which you want to full-screen text
Even faster: You can skip step 1 and 2 by pressing the hot key for "New Chat" (CTRL+N)
My guess is that this last workaround just doesn't work for multi-party chats since I can't even see those in that "new chat" list, which only lists contacts and not chats.

A big plus for this answer and a big minus to the UI designers. This is one of the reasons I still use version 7.
