How do I reduce the width of a card?

G’Day,    we’re running an education account and one of my students has created a project accidentally. I was wondering how to delete the project. If I click on the project name I can’t find the “Delete project” button.   Best, Andreas

I feel like I am losing my mind. I have two Miro accounts - one for work with my employer and another for independent consulting work. For both accounts, I have a seat on a number of teams, both free and paid. In some scenarios, when I am logged into Miro either through the latest stable version of Google Chrome or the Miro Windows 64-bit desktop app version 0.3.37 (Windows 10 in both scenarios), I can click-and-drag to re-order the teams. Here’s an example of my moving the “PE” team to the top:   So… right after I captured this screenshot, I tried closing the app, re-opening it, and then I could not re-order anymore(?). Then I went into a board and then, with that board still open in its own tab in the Miro Windows app, I went back to the “Boards” tab and now I could re-order the Teams - I repeated these steps three times and was able to reproduce the same behaviour, so, I believe this is probably a bug. My question to anyone out there is: Can you re-order your Teams from your D

We are two freelancers, both of us has a paid consultant account, but we would like to work on one board. Is it possible to invite the other to my board without paying any extra?

Hi, I run virtual group programs and workshops. All attendees are using the same templates, but need their own “work areas”. Is there a way I can do this in Miro?  Here’s the process:  Teach a Framework​​​​​​ They do it by themselves I bring one up for a “hot seat” where I provide feedback Repeat for Framework 2, 3, 4, 5 Right now I’m using Google slides and it’s alright. I like the ability to “check in” on where attendees are at like when you’re walking the room in a live workshop. Think a “tab” in Google sheets where I can move onto that next framework when we’re done with the first one. For example, I wouldn’t all 5 frameworks on there because it would be overwhelming. I want to bring the frameworks when they’re done with part 1, 2, etc.  I’m really hoping Miro can do this.  Thanks!

In Miro Desktop App or Miro Mobile & Tablet App I would like to add a link to a board pointing to another board and when this link is clicked it would open a new tab and not direct me to the browser. IMHO, Miro should have support Deep Links when using the native apps.  For those not familiar with the concept of Deep Links / Dynamic Links, this video explains it well.

как переключиться на русский? у меня все на англ?

Hi! I research autism and sexuality. I am convening a 2-hour brainstorming workshop with stakeholders in the autism community to come up with sexuality-related guidelines. I can’t tell: -- how many people will be able to collaborate on Miro brainstorms at one time (we expect around 70 though it could be way more or less since this is online) -- if they will all need accounts or if I can send them a link that allows them to work with me without an account I’m willing to pay some money (though I am but a lowly postdoctoral fellow without big research monies for this project). Just...can’t tell if this platform will work for this. Thanks for any help!!

What’s the best way to delineate action items in a mind map so that it’s easy (and potentially automated) to import a mind map into a project management system, or at least to make it easier for a project manager to quickly see action items? I could just use icons, but I’m wondering if there’s something slicker and/or more elegant. Thanks!

Hey everyone and thanks a lot in advance for your help,   hopefully someone could help me understanding the following situation: Requirement: Only team admin should be able to invite new members to boards Actual situation: regular members can invite new people to a board   On the screenshot you should be able to see the following situation: On the left side: logged in as an admin On the right side: logged in as a regular member on an occasional license Desired outcome: the user on the right should not be able to invite people to the board Probably I’ve overseen a setting but unfortunately, at the moment I don’t know what is wrong with my settings.   Best Regards and thanks a lot in advance for your help,   Christoph    

Is content disposed from Google Drive accessible /seen by users outside the company if link to the miro board is made public?

I have a free plan, which includes three active boards for my team.  I want to change which of the boards in our workspace are the active ones, but I can’t seem to do that.  How do I change the status so the board I don’t need any longer is the inactive one?  It was created by another user in my workspace who is just a member, not an admin, but that board is being set as active instead of one I created as an admin.

Hello, When I add external links they always open in a new window (with no toolbar). Could they open instead in a new tab in my browser? That would make it a lot more user friendly.  Thanks in advance, Poli

Hi all  Since the community answers so fast and on-point, I hereby present another confusion :)  I have recently purchased team license.  I concluded that the Team Program suits our company well. However, I might have understood things a bit differently. I presumed I can have 8 “teams” – meaning 8 segregated teams on the left bar. To each, I can open project, and within them – boards. However, when I try to open a new team, I get prompted to upgrade my license – although of course, I already have it.    Did I get the plan wrong? Why can’t I add teams after 2? And if these are not “teams” – did I get the videos wrong ?   Thanks for your time, dear community!  Eyal

Hi, I have removed someone from the board (in the share settings)and he says he doesnt have access anymore. However, his picture is still visible on top of the board so I am not sure. Can anybody explain why and if I can fix that? thank you in advance. Wikke  

I have a consultant plan but its not letting me add Team members > is this correct ? I want the ability to have more than myself on the board to make edits Also need to be able to offer View only and Edit rights on a board .  So people in team can edit but not those off team    Thanks

Hello. Today I faced a problem. Can’t insert images by copy-pasting. The console F12 shows error 403. However, it works in Microsoft Edge and also in an incognito mode. What is wrong?

I always uploaded my Google docs to my board but this is not working for me anymore.  Has anybody had this before and is there any solution?  I am stuck without this.   Video below   https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/video/303543?key=d302d0561041156744449ec7e0c19ed8

OK, I assume this was a rookie mistake, but I left my “not really” company and bought the consultant plan.  I then see all my boards have disappeared - not those from others in the company, but the dozens that I created.   This is a kind of urgent problem for my upcoming classes.   It sounds like Miro support isn’t very quick at responding right now - any advice?  Can you “rejoin” the company as a workaround? Thanks!

Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday :)  I've been tasked to create/help manage our social media strategy/planning for our events and for our social media ambassadors/miro champions. I know a bit about social media marketing/strategy but am a novice when it comes to agile sprint planning. Does anyone have any resources and/or tips and tricks on doing agile sprint planning for community?   From what I’ve seen online, most discussion and templates have seem especially oriented towards design and/or otherwise seem a bit more complicated than what’s necessary for us - as we’re a small team. I would love to connect and discuss ideas! Best, Natalie 

Hello, I am a new user and trying to replicate the look of the icebreaker activity that shows up in https://go.miro.com/online-workshops.  There is an opaque “shape” or “frame” with sticky notes inside it. I do not really understand the organization or hierarchies [or even vocabulary] yet — but I must accelerate quickly! — and so I cannot tell if the object on which the stickers are sitting is a frame, shape or something else.  If there is any documentation anywhere about the basic organization of Miro, I’d welcome knowing that too. Is the entire “space” of a miro project 1 “board”? 1 whiteboard with as many boards as you’d like?? This is new to me, so thanks for patience with the basics.   One more basic question for use on a desktop with a touchpad. Moving around is not intuitive either, at least yet. Is there a tutorial on this? To say this is frustrating doesn’t really get at the emotion...   

Hello wonderful Miro community, The PDFs I have uploaded to boards have all gone missing. It’s a bit of a problem for me as these are images that workshop participants used to make decisions. I can see that they are still there when the boards load, but are greyed out, then disappear. Has anyone else had this problem, and how did you resolve it? Thanks.

Hi all, Being the workshop facilitator, we activate the presentation modus (as explained in the webinar and other Miro instructions), but our participants (guests) are still able to do changes in the frames and are still in working modus. As such, they're not dragged to the presentation modus even if we push ‘bring to me’. Anyone who might know what could be the problem? Thanks a lot, EB

Using the Voting Plugin, is there a way for users to indicate their preference among the multiple votes they cast?  For example, can a user indicate that 1 vote is their 1st choice and another vote is their 2nd choice?  If the plugin doesn’t support that directly, would it be possible to accomplish the same thing using multiple voting sessions, maybe concurrent ones? Thanks!

I recemtly ran a workshop with 30 ppl and they were all using their mobile. When I created a voting session they were unable to see that on their mobile and after having several tries I had to resort to manually counting hands. I never thought to test that feature on mobile as it works on desktop.   Has anyone else experienced this?
