How Do I Change the Size of Teams?

You can change the *size* of the Teams interface by using keyboard shortcuts to zoom in or out. This feature allows you to make the text and elements within the Teams window appear larger or smaller.

According to information from November 27, 2023, the primary method involves using simple key combinations:

*   To zoom out and make the Microsoft Teams interface smaller, **press Ctrl and - (minus) keys** on your keyboard simultaneously.
*   To zoom in and make the Microsoft Teams interface bigger, **press Ctrl and + (plus) keys** on your keyboard simultaneously.

## Zooming In and Out in Teams

This keyboard shortcut method is a quick way to adjust the view within the application window itself. It doesn't change the size of the application window on your desktop but rather the scale of the content displayed inside it.

### Quick Zoom Shortcuts

Here's a simple breakdown of the keyboard commands:

| Action        | Keyboard Shortcut | Effect on Teams Interface |
| :------------ | :---------------- | :------------------------ |
| **Zoom In**   | `Ctrl` + `+`      | Makes elements larger     |
| **Zoom Out**  | `Ctrl` + `-`      | Makes elements smaller    |

Using these shortcuts allows you to customize the readability and density of information displayed in Teams based on your preference or screen resolution.

### Steps to Adjust Teams Size (Zoom)

1.  Open the Microsoft Teams application.
2.  To make everything on screen appear smaller, press and hold the `Ctrl` key, then press the `-` (minus) key. Repeat as needed.
3.  To make everything on screen appear larger, press and hold the `Ctrl` key, then press the `+` (plus) key. Repeat as needed.

This simple method lets you quickly scale the entire Teams user interface.
