Engage activities: let participants go through activities at their own pace

Hi ​@Jan Koster,

Thanks for reaching out!

Just to clarify, are you looking for a way for participants to manage the activities themselves, rather than having the facilitator control when the group moves to the next activity?

According to our Help Center, Engage activities can be managed by board editors, while all users can participate. So, if one of the participants is given board editor access, they should be able to manage the activities themselves. Please note that this functionality is available on the Business, Enterprise, and Education plans.

If this isn't quite the workflow you're looking for, could you share a bit more about how you'd like participants to progress through the activities?

Hi Eca,

What I want to achieve: During a session with participants who don't have access yet to Miro I share the first slide of the engage activity with the 6 digit code and the QR code. At that moment they have access to the Miro board. Next step is that the participants need to go through a few Engage Activities on their mobile device as I want to collect their feedback. If they are finished with the first activity (e.g. answer a multiple choice question) I want them to move to the next acitivity. It seems that I (as the facilitator and owner of the Miro board) need to go to the next activity in order to make it visible on their mobile device. With other words: I set the pace for them, but I want them to go through the activities at their own pace.

I have tried your advice: I have shared the board with “Anyone with the link” and set the Manage access to “Editor". However as a participant I steel need to wait for the facilitator/board owner to proceed to the next slide.

HI ​@Jan Koster 

Thanks for clarifying and for testing the suggested workaround based on the Help center.

Since you've set the board access to “Anyone with the link” with Editor access, but the participants still can't independently proceed to the next Engage activity, I will convert your case to a support ticket so th team can take a close look. They may be able to verify the access and roles assigned to the participants and check whether anything in the board or team setup is affecting how the Engage activities behave.

You should receive a response shortly.
