Chat, Changing font size, the instructions I read to increase "Control +" but it is not working. Any suggestions?
ā2022-02-24 12:18 PM
You can control the size of chat fonts in the client settings under the Accessibility tab.
Hope that helps and please make sure to mark the solution as accepted if this information is what you needed.

All of a sudden my chat text size got huge. I can't find the accessibility tab when I go into settings.
ā2022-04-21 05:15 PM
I just found somewhere else that you can just do Control+ or Control- while in chat to change the size. It worked great!
ā2023-01-20 10:49 PM
Thank you, baseman. Using Control+ and Control- fixed this problem for me (on Windows).
Like everyone else on this thread, I didn't see an Accessibility tab/link/section under Settings (or elsewhere).

I can't find accessibility!
ā2022-06-26 02:57 PM
I don't see accessibility either!

No accessibility tab found in settings I'm afraid.

is there a way to make the chat size greater than 200%?
if not can I change the font of the chat? what would be the largest font available?
ā2022-02-25 09:25 PM
Thank you for your response; however,
"Chat Display Size is what you want to adjust. " does NOT show up. Could be that I have Windows 11 so the instructions are different?
ā2022-02-28 11:38 AM
The Zoom desktop client should be essentially the same across different versions of Windows. Can you provide a screenshot of what you see instead?
ā2022-06-26 02:58 PM
I don't see the accessibility option, and pressing control and plus do not work. Thanks!

Zoom Desktop. Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Zoom Desktop menu - "Accessibility". As you can see the existed options can't give the ability to change the text size for Chat window at all.
Does exists any hided/secret tricks or keyboard combinations?
Thanks.

I Just hosted a meeting and while in Chat, I hit "Control and the - (minus sign as I was at 180%) and VOILA!!! I was able to keep hitting the minus sign down to 100%. I hope this works for those like me who did not find the "Accessibility' link.
ā2023-01-09 01:30 AM
It worked a treat - many thanks
ā2023-03-17 10:07 AM
The thing that confused me is that I need to hit shift to get the + sign, but not to enlarge the font. So, it's actually "Ctrl =" to enlarge the font and "Ctrl -" to shrink it.

I want to make the default font size smaller. But the only smaller size is 80%, which is a tad too small. The font size of the rest of the UI text is just right. It's probably a 90%. Can we have that option?
ā2023-12-18 08:00 PM
I'll give this a try. My chat was huge in a meeting today so I couldn't read the messages coming through without cutting and pasting them into a doc - which was inconvenient to say the least. I don't have an accessibility tab either. I will try control - tomorrow and hope it works!

Accessibility tab as accessed through the desktop application.

You can change the font size for closed captioning and chat.
