The zoom feature has released to the public ring. Using CRTL + or CTRL – zoom in and out on a Windows PC. This functionality is also available on the Mac. The item tracking this specific update can be found at: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/admin/v3/suggestions/16933183/activity

Currently there isn’t an UI element that tells you your current zoom level but that, along with Settings within the UI to preset your zoom preference, will be coming a bit later.

Since the zoom feature could very well cover the vast majority of user needs, based on the majority of comments and feedback, I will flag this item as Partially Done.

Thank you for all the feedback and support!

This item is still in the works.

Though the zooming ability looks like it will probably release first. I don’t have exact timelines for either but I know zooming has been steadily getting closer and closer. Which is being tracked by this item https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103/suggestions/16933183

So, hopefully it could at least meet the need, if it doesn’t replace the ability to change font size as some had clearly stated in the comments.

Thank you all for the feedback and we will continue to work on getting this updates to you sooner, rather than later.

Hi everyone,

Not a huge update. We are still working on this item.

However, the focus of our work in this area is targeting a similar topic which is Scalable UI (Zooming): http://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103/suggestions/16933183

Please let me know in the comments if the ability to zoom in as well as use the keys CTRL_- and CTRL_+ to zoom in and out, would me most of your needs.

If you feel it would not, would you please let me know in the comments why you would prefer font increases over the zoom function.

Thank you for all your feedback, it really helps us build a better product.

This is very close to done! I’ll be so happy to deliver this to you. I really appreciate your patience as we worked on this issue. It was much harder to resolve than we anticipated.

Thank you,

Hi everyone, wanted to give you an update since my last update was a few months ago.

We were able to build this solution, but unfortunately it’s not passing our validation rounds so we need to continue to work on it.

We really appreciate your patience; I know this is a really important feature, especially for those with eyesight trouble. We’re working hard to get this solution validated and pushed out for you!

Sincerely,
Suphatra

Sending another email since this was merged with a larger ticket. This way everyone gets the update that we’re working quickly to rectify this!

Thanks so much for everyone who commented to let me know it wasn’t done. That was really valuable. I’ve talked to the engineering lead on this item and I’ll let you know when its done.

Hi everyone, thanks for flagging this in the comments. You’re right, its not completed and that was a mistake on our part. It slipped into release notes without getting through all the production rings. We’re actively working to fix this ASAP.

Thank you for your patience. I’ll circle back soon.

Now there is a way to increase or decrease your font size. Just click Ctrl + or Ctrl – to make your font bigger or smaller, respectively.

If you have any questions, just email me or ping me on Twitter at @skprufo.
