Hi I am unable to change text size while using templates - it’s tiny!! I have option to nbold or underline but there is no place on bottom or floating toolbars that offers this - can anyone advise.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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".....
