    Thank you Ivan for your description of a workaround.

    I understand the concept that zooming in and out should make text more visible, but the core issue that goes unresolved is that the size of the text varies, sometimes is tiny (even when zoomed in) and changing the size of the text box does nothing to the text itself.

    Font scaling is native to PowerPoint and the ability to change font sizes dates back to at least Windows 3.1 and Notepad. I strongly suggest that this simple feature be added to Whiteboard if Microsoft intends for companies to use it instead of Miro or Google.

    Baaa haaaaaaaa. You are hilarious and made my day. Have been trying MS Whiteboard..... Very basic functionality and falls far short of MIRO.

    I am trying to use tools that the company I'm currently contracting with, has in place. That includes Teams and it's whiteboard feature. Wow - this problem we're talking about is significant. Not being able to resize the lettering on the post-it notes is a serious problem. I built a large board and then realized this. Ouch. May have to move back to MIRO. What a waste of my afternoon. If Microsoft can fix this problem, I feel the whiteboard Teams tool falls short of what users need.
