Option to change global font size in Teams & apply settings to incoming messages like you can in Lync
Very important for visually impaired individuals. Lync has an option that allows you to specify the global font settings and then click a box that "applies settings to incoming messages."
This means that someone like myself, who is visually impaired, can then set the global font to say 16. Then all messages I type will be at size 16 and more importantly, all the messages I get back from people are going to be size 16 as well.
This option also allows people who Don't want to see messages in size 16 -don't have to. They can specify their own individual font preferences.
Currently, our company uses Teams and the inability to set global font sizes and control what size incoming messages are displayed at is causing difficulty. It can be set for Each individual message Every time, but that is neither convenient nor really usable as it does nothing for the incoming font size.
I would think Microsoft would want to make their products as user friendly as possible- especially for those who are visually impaired.

This is annoying and should have been in the beta version of Teams. This is a HUGE issue and scrolling through the lists it's very clear this is a huge issue for people and needs to be updated today. Add a parameter in settings like they already have in Skype to keep your font selection until you decide to change it. I don't understand how leadership didn't catch this while testing it or using it even a few times.

Please make a setting for changing the font size in Microsoft Teams!

It would be amazing if we could change the default text settings for the chats. Font, SIZE, boldness, etc. The current default text is so small and hard to read.

Also feel like we should be able to select a font and have it saved permanently. Something in settings. We are having to change the text every time we go in to type something (if you want to make the text larger or different color font). Also want to be able to delete private messages rather than hide.

The ability to change the font size and color for incoming and outgoing messages permanently, instead of having to select these items each time I send a message.
