    Hello Sam!

    I'm Ivan and I'd be happy to help you with your question.

    I recommend employing the following technique to enhance your experience with the Whiteboard application: simultaneously press the CTRL key and scroll the mouse wheel upwards. This action will facilitate zooming in, resulting in improved clarity while viewing specific sections of the template. Furthermore, this zoomed-in view will also simplify the editing process.

    Additionally, you have the option of augmenting the size of text boxes within the template. This can be achieved by selecting the desired text box and utilizing the corner drag handles to enlarge it.

    For further guidance on this matter, I encourage you to consult the provided link, where a comparable issue was addressed: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msteams/forum/all/ms-whiteboard-template-text-size/ea8a22fc-e938-438e-9642-fe5365b100f3

    If you have any further questions or require further assistance, do not hesitate to reach out; I am here to help.

    Best regards, Ivan

    I'm having the same issue. Pulling the corners only resizes the box. the text does not change size. There is no option in the text formatting tools to change the size or the alignment.

    I'm having the same issue, and there seems to be no answer anywhere. As J Norris says, if you type text in a box, not a Text box but a regular box or other object, then the text is tiny and increasing the size of the box/object doesn't increase the size of the text. That works only for Text boxes.

    Is there a way to do it? If not, could there be some guidance, or even better, just not allow typing in anything other than a text box?

    @IVAN This does not address the question of increasing the font size within the box. It only changes the box sise. The inherent issue people are trying to resolve here is the tiny text in a huge box. How do you increase the text size (as in any other MS application)?
