    We've just cancelled Miro thinking Whiteboard would work, but it's just too limited. Not being able to change the font size is frustrating.

    What about rotating text, since we can't change the size of it. Then I can fit things along a timeline.

    Sadly, people spend an awful load of money on Microsoft products and they are still unusable (yes, Whiteboard is free but increasing the text size is no rocket science all other Microsoft products are at least able to do so ;) )

    Completely agree with your observations! I wish they would release a better quality product than lure us in with this attempt.

    Chiming in to amplify the voices and comments already contributed in a desperate attempt to bring attention to a much-needed feature that would support accessibility and readability. Please consider your users with varying needs (and our eyes), Microsoft.

    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
