  2. Select Personal settings.

  3. On the left, click Preferences.

  4. Under General, toggle Compact mode.

Zoom in or out

To further customize font size in Zulip, you can adjust it by zooming in or out in your browser, or in the Zulip desktop app.

  • Desktop/Web

  1. Use Ctrl + + to zoom in, Ctrl + - to zoom out, or Ctrl + 0 to reset to default zoom.
