    pressing shift and up arrow key makes the shap bigger but the text still remains the same size. only solution is to do a text box and drop a shap on top of it like ppt logic... shame as in Miro it resizes

    This might help someone. When I made a text box, my text wrapped on to the next line. If you drag the corner box to resize, the whole box and text resizes together, and the long word wraps on to the next line still.

    However! After far too long, I discovered that you can resize the box independently of the text by dragging the sides to increase width and height individually. So now, you can resize the text using the corners, then resize the box, keeping the same sized text by dragging the sides!

    Agree 100%. It's a key problem with a simple answer. This needs to be fixed. I was told to us Teams whiteboard to facilitate a large working session, because that was the tool the company had in-house (not Miro). The exercise with leaders was not as effective and efficient as I would have liked, and the experience for the leaders was not as positive as it could have been because of the tool limitations.

    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.
