Shape transform behaviours

Does anyone know of anything that explains shapes, their properties and the transform rules? I’m too confused to be able to correctly state all the transforms I created a text shape and added contents with bullets then decided I’d like a boarder so changed it to a box and the bullets all evaporated and the text became centred and there was no box drawn! - not what I wanted so I think I changed it back and the bullets were truly gone but the centering remained - bizarre that some attributes clear and other stick - and then I realised that it was a box but with a colourless boarder so I set a coloured boarder and then had to manually left align and turn bullets back on and at some point the font-size stopped being something rational because as a text label font size isn’t constrained but as a ‘named’ shape it is constrained - but since there is some ‘what you did last’ attributes that stick I could now draw a cloud with 7000pt font size - but I can’t set its boarder width to be ‘in keepi

Making repeatable cards or worksheets that workshop participants can fill in

When we run workshops with members of the public we often make cards or worksheets with labelled boxes for participants to complete as part of an activity. Is there a way to do the same in Miro? To create a set of grouped shapes, with headings and labels, where the shapes, headings and labels are fixed or locked, but participants can edit the text in the appropriate boxes. Particularly with smaller ‘cards’, the participants would typically complete and arrange several cards. So we and they should be able to duplicate a whole card.

Adjust speed and path of a link within a board

Hi From a presenters perspective, I’m wondering if there is way to adjust the speed and path (or “altitude”) of the sweep that Miro makes when you follow a link between two objects within a board? thanks anders

Video chat - participants do not show

We keep having an issue where participants images on a video chat do not not always show up - instead there are just black screens with the names of the participants. This comes and goes - so sometimes a person is visible and sometimes their screen is black. The participants are using Miro on either a laptop or a desktop computer. I didn’t see a solution within the community boards.

Confused over licensing in Consulting Plan/Free Plan

Hi, maybe I need more coffee but i’m struggling to understand the pricing system here… I’m a consultant, CRO and copywriting. Typically I’ll have a single client on the go, sometimes two. Rarely three. Right now i use a project management plugin (WPProject) for Wordpress in a subdomain, for collaboration, file sharing and such, and that let’s me keep different clients away from each other. I understand the Consultant plan does the same or similar. Where I’m confused is the whole user thing. What exactly does “1+” mean? One plus what? I can have more than one? I can’t have more than.. me? So how do I consult? One client? One plus client..? What? So there’s me, that’s $15, but if I have a client, which would seem the point of a consultant plan, is that another $15? Or is one (plus?) client included? With my current system I can assign a client the role of ‘Client’. Easy. Clients can comment and stuff but have limited rights. I’m trying to figure out if I’d actually have to pay twice, for

Client unable to zoom in or pan in Miro

Hi all, I have a client with whom I share a board. He is unable to pan or zoom in on the board. We have tried all the usual commandos and nothing seems to remedy the problem. What can be the issue? He does not have Windows 365, can that be the issue? Thank you for your help! /Helena

Consultant Plan and Guest Editor Facilitation Features

Hi there, I have a consultant plan with MIRO to facilitate remote workshops. However one client was so excited about working with MIRO that they themselves selected an enterprise plan which is great. However they now want me to only use their MIRO environment as a Guest Editor for internal policy. My direct partner at the client created the board for our next workshop next week and added me as a Guest Editor. However as I need to facilitate the session I am missing the facilitation features especially Lock/Unlock and Video Chat. As I am already a paying consultant is there a way to get access to these feature even if I am “just” a Guest Editor at the client? It seems unreasonable that their IT department would spent an additional license for me in time.

Maximum Miro board size limits to be performant?

We have a board that when we back it up is about 750MB. It seems like the board is starting to slow down, or have performance issues for some users who are using tools to draw. Is there a size that we should keep in mind before we start a new board?

Board Size - how to help the participants to find the object on the board?

Hi Ive setup an ice breakers where I’ve asked delegates to access a board with a map and add a post it note with their name and some other info. The problem is, when guests access the board they are struggling to find the map since the board is large. Is there a way of reducing the size of the board so that it is only as large as the map image? Or is there some other recommendation here? much appreciated Paddy

Can I embed Miro boards into my Canvas site and have them update/refresh?

Hey all - I’m putting together a module in Canvas in which I’d like to have Miro boards embedded. I planned on having the students run an exercise on separate Miro boards and then “bring them all back” to a main Zoom room where I can share our Canvas page and show what all the different groups did by looking at multiple boards all embedded on the Canvas page. But now when I test it it seems that the embedded Miro boards won’t update with changes made to their linked board. I’ve tried refreshing the page, testing in Incognito mode and reloading the frame. Any help would be HUGE as I planned on using this setup throughout the course.

Confused about how to add students to a project

I cannot seem to add all my students in a class to a project. I’ve added them to my Education team, but can’t see all their individual boards when I try to add them to a project (However, I can go to their boards via link). I suspect it’s because some of them my have created their own team? Don’t know. They appear as members of my team, but I can’t see their boards even though all of the students have given me editing permissions. See the attached screen shots of a student who I have been able to add to my board (Samantha) and one that I haven’t been able to add (Cassie).

What to do when iFrame embed just spins...

Advice on plan choice and usage

Hi guys, I wanted to ask some advices on using Miro for my use case. I work as a freelance consultant, and I work with several non related clients: client A has a small team and it’s usually enough to share a board publicly, we work on several projects at a time with them. client B is a consultant himself and is hiring me to work together on several projects for his different clients. Client B has Miro account. Me and Client B use Miro for work. I’ve got a consultant plan and have set-up a separate team for Client B, where I also have different projects set-up for the different client’s we work with. Now ideally I would like him to see all the boards we do for each of the clients and have editors access, get notifications, etc. And I would like to keep my work with other clients and personal boards separate (which I do now with different “teams” for each of the clients). What would be the best way in this case without me having to pay the extra 15/mo for having him on my team? Keep sha

No support from Miro for licence upgrade

Hello I upgraded from a free licence to a business one more than a fortnight ago. But it keeps defaulting to my free one, and telling me to upgrade. I have emailed Miro support every single day to ask for some support because FAQ tells me that this is an issue which requires some help from them. But I have not had any response. I have scheduled workshops on the basis of being able to use Miro, and am wondering what it takes to get the support I need. I also hope that the licence start date will be reset to the day that I can actually start using it. Thanks.

Private vs Shared Board

Hi, I have a couple of questions about private and shared boards. 1. On the free plan I understand the boards are open for anyone to view. How discoverable are they? Can anyone with the link and a username edit them? Can you see who has viewed the board? Are the URLs easy for anyone to discover? 2. If you are on a paid plan and then revert back to a free plan do your once private boards become visible to anyone? Thanks (looks like nice software btw)
