Gmail adds the ability to resize Chat and Rooms sections on web

Google has added the ability for Gmail users to resize the Chat and Rooms sections in the left-side navigation on the web version, making it easier for them to stay on top of their most important conversations and navigate to relevant chats faster.

There is no admin control or end-user setting for this new feature. To resize a section, hover over a section header and drag - up or down - to adjust as needed. You can make it longer or shorter based on your needs.

The new functionality on Gmail web is rolling out to both Rapid and Scheduled Release domains and will take a couple of days for it to be fully visible.
