    You can use Miro.

    I might have a solution to this.

    The text boxes I'm just working with in whitboard have a fixed width. Entering text beyond the width causes it to wrap and expand the box vertically. I can change the width of the box by dragging the left or right edges from the middle of the edge (not a corner/vertex). This does not change the font size.

    However, the box also has four drag points on the corners. Dragging this scales the box and the contents - resulting in the font getting larger and/or smaller.

    So the solution to the original question is likely to be:

    1. Drag the right edge from the middle of the edge to the left until the box contains just the text.
    2. Drag a corner by the dot to make the box larger to the size of text you require.

    This does not work for "notes".

    Full marks Ivan for "thinking outside the box" and telling people to zoom in if something is the wrong size, but maybe the box you're thinking outside of (literally) is too large for you to see the tiny writing inside that says "this solution does not work".....

    This is the absolute worst answer I have ever seen to a question. That is like saying "I can't see cars that are far away when I'm driving" and instead of recommending glasses, you recommend "Just drive closer to them." How about an actual answer from someone who gives a damn? The boxes need to be seen as a whole from far away, not from extremely close with limited view.

    Agree 100% Blake! If MS could just improve the functionality and add some basic features, Teams whiteboard could be more usable and effective. Very limiting at this point. Miro is better.
