    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.

    We edit powerpoint and other presentations collaboratively in teams, having our organizations preferred fonts available would make this more efficient and effective.

    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.

    I'm actually most interested in being able to see Word documents uploaded into Teams with the same fonts and formatting as in Word.

    Should be able to change the font size just for the app. I want larger font for the rest of the phone but it becomes way too large for teams on phone.

    Change the default font size one time for all incoming and outgoing messages. The current default size is way too small to read or write them all day. Monitor size doesn't matter with this font either.
