Whiteboard text box default size

On my laptop, when using the text feature of the Zoom whiteboard, the default size of the textbox is rather small. How I change the default size of the text box so it's automatically bigger?

Hi @lenguarica ,  The default fontSize of new created textbox is 16 px. 

 

Currently , modifying the default fontSize is not supported.

 

Some advice: create a textbox and change the fontSize to what you want, then copy and paste the textbox, finally modify the content (the fontSize is preserved)

 

Reminder : If you see the textbox is rather small, please check the zoom value.

I want to change the default size aswell. It is annoying to change the size every time I crate a text. This is why I haven't bought the extra whiteboards plan

Yes @JulR  I also want a feature panel,  where we can set default fontSize, default line thickness, default connector type, default color and any other default settings  for an account or specific whiteboard.

... further more, besides the 16pt default size ( which is annoying enough) if you want to place text somewhere else, you first have to choose text tool again! Why is this?

this is so basic... never thought that this was true with a purchased plan...  quite disappointing

Hi @tonne ,  We don't have to click the text tool again. Try the hotkey  "T"  to create a textbox.
