@tim ferguson sauder - I had not heard of Canvas, so I had to Google it for a bit more context. Having not used the Miro embed myself, I quickly set up a Google Sites page and tried it out and, yes, I see what you mean about the embedded version not updating to reflect changes that were made on a board - it’s almost as if a snapshot/lite version of the board is captured somewhere when you first generate the embed code.
I decided to take a look at the Embedding Boards into Websites help article where I didn’t see any notes about refreshing embeds, however, I did see a note that, “at the moment, links and comments are not displayed on embedded boards”, so depending on your board’s contents, this could present additional challenges for you.
While it may not help you right away, perhaps you should check out a post by @Boris Borodyansky (Platform Product Manager at Miro) as Boris recently put our a call for people looking to test a new Miro Embed experience. Given your use case, this new experience may help you achieve your desired outcome!
In the meantime, you may need to follow the old adage of, ‘sometimes the simplest solution is the best one’, and just load the Miro board in a browser or Miro desktop app and share your screen in Zoom.
Thanks Robert -
I messaged Boris. I appreciate the response. Hopefully Miro adds updating embeds soon.
All well,
