Pro Tips for Changing Font in Microsoft Teams

1. Use the Rich Text Editor
   When composing a message, click on the Format icon (an “A” with a pencil) below the message box. This opens the Rich Text Editor for font customization.

2. Choose from Font Styles
   In the Rich Text Editor, select from the available font styles like Calibri, Arial, and Times New Roman. This affects only the message you're currently writing.

3. Adjust Font Size and Emphasis
   Use the formatting options to increase or decrease font size, and apply bold, italics, underline, or highlight for emphasis.

4. Use Keyboard Shortcuts
   For quick formatting:

   • Ctrl + B for bold

   • Ctrl + I for italics

   • Ctrl + U for underline

5. Customize Font in Chat Apps (Optional Workaround)
   If you need additional font styles, you can compose your message in Word or another editor, then copy and paste it into Teams. Some styles may carry over.

Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them

1. Expecting a Global Font Change
   Microsoft Teams doesn’t allow a global font change across the app. You can only change fonts within message composition.

2. Pasting Unsupported Fonts
   When copying from other apps, unsupported fonts may not render properly in Teams. Always preview your message before sending.

3. Not Seeing Formatting Toolbar
   If the Format icon isn't visible, make sure you're in the expanded message box or composing in a team channel or chat—not replying inline.

4. Assuming It Changes Others' View
   Changing the font only affects how your message appears to recipients. Their Teams app settings won’t alter how your message is displayed.

5. Mobile App Limitations
   Font formatting is limited in the Teams mobile app. Use the desktop version for full formatting capabilities.
