Honestly I can't believe we can't change font size in Teams. Isn't this a standard feature for any desktop app nowadays?

Since Dec 2020, when I started to use Teams in place of Skype for Business, I have immediately posted my comments on this subject (see Dec 9th 2020). I see regularly similar comments in this topic treat, but nobody comes with a kind of an answer... Is it really that difficult to give Teams users the permission to change font types, sizes and colors into the parameter settings of the application ???

I use specific fonts due to vision issues. The ability to choose different fonts in Teams is necessary.

I need to permanently increase the font size in TEAMS chat box -- it seems like many others need to do this as well. This should be EASY, right? And it is the right thing to do in terms of accessibility. Please do it!
EDIT -- Okay, maybe it can be done using <CTRL><+> -- thank you for adding this feature -- but no one seems to know about it, and simple internet searches won't reveal it.

How can I get these fonts added to the character map so that it is universally available?
We use these characters for our Navajo Language. I need these fonts to work with other applications like PDFs, Web pages and our Learning Management System (Blackboard).

+1 for accessibility.
At this point, a decision to explicitly disallow font size and type changes is irresponsible with regards to accessibility, especially from a tech resource that has become a pillar of business communications under the weight of the pandemic. Sending up a "we don't care" message to those with cognitive or visual impairments is, without question, a poor call. -

Technology has been key to my professional development and living with profound dyslexia. The ability to import custom dyslexic specific fonts into Microsoft products is key to my efficiency and performance. I currently use Open Dyslexic with other Office applications but am not able to import that font to Teams. With the pandemic, use of Teams in my organization has increased exponentially and my reading speed and comprehension are impacted by not being able to use a font that is designed for readers with dyslexia. I look forward to future updates that may include this capability.

I too support this idea. As we have staff out in the field without their laptops, we need to be able to add our custom fonts to Teams. We edit Word and PPTs collaboratively in Teams, so having our organizations preferred fonts available would make this more efficient and effective. It would be great to see this update in a future update.

I fully support this idea, it would be just super. I always use a laptop and it has a display with a small diagonal and it is almost always inconvenient to read something and just surf the Internet. Some fonts are even displayed incorrectly and I have to constantly increase the scalability in windows in the settings, which can also incorrectly display fonts. I recently found this font https://upfonts.com/kenyan-coffee-font-overwatch-font/ which always displayed correctly which I was glad of. I hope this idea is implemented, I think everyone would be happy with this.

Curious to know when this feature will become available (knowing that I'm a new user of Teams only since today and immediately figured out that I couldn't change the font types/sizes/colors etc...permanently). Really missing this feature compared to Skype for Business/Lync etc. Please keep us posted on this feature! Thanks.

If only the fonts I use in my Word or PPT documents remain the same when I upload them onto Teams. So disappointing when you've got a gorgeous aesthetic going but on Teams it becomes Calibri or Arial or something. Not that there's anything wrong with Calibri or Arial but you know, I didn't change my fonts for nothing.

Way to go MS for not recognizing anyone having poor vision (i.e. elderly) and leaving out an option to change the font size of incoming messages as well as a permanent solution for message composition. It never fails that MS can take a good thing and make it worse in some way. How could they forget something so basic.

I am really struggling to read a Teams chat on my monitor, much less on my laptop. We have an aging population and some of us need the font to be bigger and to be able to make the default font larger.

This would be a game-changer for the 1/5 of the population that has Dyslexia, like me for example.
I mean, even "Serif v Sans-Serif" mode would be so much more accessible.
Lots of people with dyslexia have greatly increased difficulty reading Sans-Serif fonts, myself included!!
I currently have to use a web client with a Font Changing extension,,, just to get this app in Times New Roman.
Unfortunately using the web app exclusively means I'm still at a disadvantage in comparison to the rest of my development team.
It's really ableist of Microsoft to ignore these accessibility needs.

It would be nice to have the option to change fonts and colors permanently, like we can in Skype for Business. I'm not sure why this is an issue in 2020.
