Hello, 

I was hoping to use Miro with groups of children through my workplace. We recently looked at the gifs app and discovered that some of the gifs that can be used are not appropriate for our young users. It would be incredible if I could remove this feature, but there does not seem to be an option to do so. Has anyone came across a way to do this?

Any help would be appreciated :) 

Hi @Rhi_LP - thank you for reaching out. While you may not be able to completely remove the app, you can unpin it from the toolbar or reorder its position on the toolbar. See screenshot attached — if the app is on your toolbar, right-click on it and press “Unpin tool.” You can learn more about toolbars and how to customize the apps on your Miro board here

Please note, your tools order and available tools will be saved under your profile only, you cannot change the creation toolbar of other users on the board.

We have also shared this feedback with our team re: some of the GIFs not being age appropriate. We hope this helps!


Is there a way to remove just the GIF’s section? My kids love being creative with the stickers & emojis but first search into GIFS showed that there is no screening for inappropriate content. We hope this becomes an option. 


Hi ​@ochip3030,

 

Thank you for raising this important topic, especially with regard to young audiences. As Maria mentioned, while it’s not currently possible to fully disable or remove the GIF app from the toolbar, you can unpin it to reduce its visibility.

 

I understand the need for a more controlled environment when working with children. Your feedback on managing access to specific app features—like limiting GIF access while keeping stickers and emojis—has been shared with our team. You may also consider adding this request to the Wishlist post. This way, the team can view it directly, and it will contribute to prioritizing this feature for future updates.

 

If there’s anything else I can help with, please feel free to reach out. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts and helping us create a more flexible and safe experience for all!
