I would like the ability to upload an MP4. I want to upload zoom recordings that demonstrate how to use the board without uploading an MP4 to my personal youtube account.

I want to upload a video directly from my desktop to my Miro board, how do I do this? An error occurs ‘file not supported’ - it’s a standard Quicktime screen recording. z

I love using Miro but the list of basic features that are missing is astoundingly long. Adding video directly to a board without having to faff around with uploading to YT and embedding is one of them.

Hi Vlada

Are there plans to enable embedding video straight into the Miro Board?

This is a bit of a showstopper for us, as video is our primary content.

It seems quite a limitation, given how popular video is becoming as a communication tool.

Thanks
Dave

Is there any method to include a Video from my PC to the Miro Board?

LG Dennis.

Can I not upload a video directly from my desktop? I read it needs to be a MPG, yet that doesn’t work…

SOS!

We! Need! MP4!

i also had this issue. i decided to convert my video from QuickTime player using “Snagit” (it’s a program) and converting (saving my video as) a GIF and then uploading that gif file up into Miro. I will embedded or inserted videos would autoplay and be on a loop

Basic feature, please add

Hello- Our monthly request to add an mp4 upload option. Please and thank you. 

VIDEO PLEASE

We desperately need the capability to locally upload a video file whether mp4 or mov and playback on the boards.

Most of our presentations contain animations for both traditional Arch Viz as well as animated diagrams and interactive video. We love the ability to use the boards as slides in presentation mode, but typically we will have to migrate to Powerpoint, Figma, or even Mural because Miro does not have this feature. 

It would be great to show to clients and our other internal teams that Miro can be a solution at all phases of a project and not just for static collaboration.

This is a pretty big surprise. Short h264s can be as small as 5-10mb at 1080p for ~30 seconds of video, You can hide them behind “click to play” to avoid loading unnecessary content.

This is making some of our design tasks fairly challenging. Surprising that the solution is to upload video to another service. Fingers crossed you revisit this task!

Still no movement on this by the look of it, so unfortunately I’m going to cancel my subscription and move over to Milanote. Your tool is great but not having a basic feature like this is a dealbreaker. You produce a visual communication and collaboration tool. Native video should be a core feature.

Same goes to Milanote where is able to easily drag and drop an MP4 from your own storage/pc/Google Drive etc….

Miro is great, but the lack of this feature is a bit enervating. 

Please do something about this Miro team! 

I’m very disappointed to learn that I cannot simply add my own mp4 videos to a board, this is such a core capability for a visual collaboration tool! The extra steps to turn it into a gif or youtube video should not be needed.

@Catherine Slyoskina - if you set the video to be ‘unlisted’ instead of private that definitely works.

Also if i take a private video, add a “can view” id list to YT and use the URL in the email sent by youTube to create an iFrame and view it that way IT WORKS! but there are a lot of moving parts and i’ve not tried any of the combinations of factors that could break it

Your right tat hprivate videos don’t add directly - i suspect the miro app could do that if you knew what credentials it presents to youtube when seeking access

Ping, this feature would be really useful.

We also need this feature. Figma’s FigJam has this ability.

Hi everyone!

Thanks so much for taking the time to follow up on this thread!

I can see that there’s an existing request with the same feature you are looking for in the comment - https://community.miro.com/ideas/upload-mov-mp4-videos-2454. If you haven’t already, please feel free to vote the thread.

For those coming across this idea, if you feel this would be helpful for your use of Miro please be sure to vote for it and leave a comment about your use case to help our team scope this request!

Using You Tube or Vimeo shows an interface, which I would prefer to eliminate & prefer a clean presentation of the video.  If you want to stop & start the video then these work.  I chose to convert to GIF (free at Adobe)

I add my comment too. On my way back from a trade fair I found myself with +50 minivideos of products to include in a presentation, and I only realised on my return that I couldn't add them to Miro... this is a big problem for me for this specific work and in general for out studio’s board management from here on. I hope this feature will be implemented soon although I understand from this conversation that the problem has been there for years unfortunately...

For now, I’m using Adobe Express to convert movie (.mov format) to GIF format which can be supported by MIRO board. It’s important for MIRO to support direct video format upload in near future. Adobe Express is free of charge.

Collaboard does it, too:

Miro’s collaboration competitors have addressed and solved this issue a long time ago without needing plugins or extra steps, which is why this lack of functionality was so surprising.  https://www.edn.com/bluescape-expands-its-universe-of-supported-content-formats-and-tools-eliminating-barriers-to-collaboration/

While this is unfortunate and not convenient, video and audio sharing is not a problem that Miro needs to solve as the services like YouTube and Soundcloud already exist.

One step towards making it more convenient for Miro users may be to have a YouTube and Soundcloud plugin/app that would allow you to drag a video onto the board and have it

1. uploaded to these other services in the background; and
2. embedded into the Miro board.
