Hi Everyone! Happy Friday As some of you may be already aware of, the product team just rolled out a new feature called Grids. It’s a new widget that helps to organize content. I’m looking for some inspiration on how to implement it in my own workflow.  Have any of you tried it out? I’d love to share some ideas here. More info on Grids can be found on our blog post - Introducing Miro Grids!  

Hi, I’m currently designing a workshop for a client. We will have 50 participants divided into 10 groups. Should I create one board per team or have everyone in the same board?  I’m not so sure I get the added value of both options   Thank you so much for your help,   Regards

hi all - i have a consulting package, did a quick road test today and it appears that: when i hit present, it doesn’t change guest editors screens to watch the presentation, and although i have the chat function on the lower menu, the guest editors don’t, so effectively chat doesn’t work… very grateful for any ideas!

I’m facilitating a brainstorming session for a non-profit and am considering using Miro.  My thought was to upgrade to Team plan and let them in as guest editors. The problem is that none of the 20 participants have used it, so I’m hesitant to introduce a new tool. What’s the best way to get non-users up to speed in a week? Or should I not force it at this time?

Hi, I recently joined a project that is using Miro so they invited me using my email, now I’m a member of the team.    I would like to ask if it’s possible to create another team - “my team” and have 3 new free boards while still being a member of the other team I joined?   Thanks.

Hi Everyone, We just wrapped up a three day retreat with 35 people. We collectively had the participants dream of what the world would look like in 2200 if it was green, clean and just. We built a board that started in 2020 and added events between 2020 and 2200.  The issue we are having is how do we share / communicate these boards with the attendees. Screenshots downloads using Miro are focused on one section of the timeline, so I’d have to break each timeline into 5 parts due to the length of each board. I would love to show the whole timeline in a landscape view so folks can scroll from left to right and view the timeline in a way that makes sense.   Anyone else have this issue and know how to present a long and wide board? 

I have a client who is using Miro (reason we signed up).   I am developing boards to use with them, and they are then going to use in their organisation.  How can I share my boards with them so they have that template in their space?

Hi there! I´m on Team Plan esp. to collaborate with Guest editors but I can´t make it work. When I click the share button it neither shows “Public access to the board by link” nor a possibility to choose their roll in the white board. Any suggestions? Thanks alot, Uli

I want to upgrade my account, I have 2 team members but in some board we have to invit more people to colabotare with the workshops. I would like to know all the posibilities and conditions to work on that way. It depends my decision to buy miro or not.

Hi!  I’m planning a systems mapping workshop to assess climate resilience in a geographical area. The workshop is usually done in person and participants use cards, place them on a map, and link them together. Due to the current situation we have moved to an online workshop hosted on Miro. We have created a board with a couple of maps and a large number of icons(cards) to be copy/pasted onto the maps by participants. Due to the scale we are working on, it requires quite a lot of zooming in/out and navigation to move from the map area and the icons. As seen during some tests, this can be difficult for some participants not familiar with tools like Miro.  Would there be a way to either:  Freeze a part of the board (similar for example to excel), so that the icons are always in views and can be quickly copy/pasted from the map?  Or; Creating a drop down menu that could be accessed from anywhere on the board? either through existing tools or

Where can I find the business canvases? I tried to find this canvas in the product but wasn’t able to find where to add them from...   https://miro.com/blog/introducing-app-development-canvas/

Looking for the ability to work on more than one team, without having to buy more than one license (or at least not more than 1 team and 1 consultant license), or to have a multi-team license or something. I have a team license with a small group that I frequently work with. However, I work with a number of other people on someone regular basis as well. I don’t want to have 5 Miro Team accounts and these people are all working independently of each other, so trying to manage the payments as a group does not make sense. And each other person has a team account or consultant account already.  Thought we could use the consultant version of Miro, and figured I might have to buy that in addition to the teams one, but it appears that will not work either, since it looks like I would have to pay for the consultant version, then have to add each other person on as a team member and pay for them. I don’t see a way to add a person who HAS an existing consultant

Hi! I plan a workshop with about 15 participants and a lot of different excercises. Now I fear that the participants will “get lost” if they want to go back to have a look at the Input I will display on my board and/or the results of the last excercise. How can I gather all participants at a specific place on my Board? thx in advance.  

Hello there. I’m a new here, and I was offered to check out your video tutorials “Hey! Let's explore Miro with 2-min video”. It can not be closed or hidden. Absolutely annoying staff. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yzuJVEOWtWMGuqsFyaNgLny9lBqjF2SL/view Has your product manager already reported about extremely growing video views?

is it possible somehow integrate a calendar or dates from calendar to the board? i`d like to create a list of daily issues thax

Hi @Vlada, I copied the link of a Getting Started with Miro video from youtube and it pasted as an image. The only way to view the video was to click on the image, then on the toolbar that popped up, click on the ‘source’ icon to open a web browser to youtube. Is this correct? I was hoping to watch the video from within the Miro board.  

My student has subscribed on customing my account . After a few days I’ve changed on free account , but … Every day I’m getting this “Please pay your due invoice. Without paiment your account will be loced “ Now I’ve got free subscription . What can I do so that they don’t block me ?   

Hi, I’ve been trying to export my artboard as a PDF and all the images I had in the artboard are showing up as broken links. See the image attached for reference. On Miro (web version) the images are fine, but this happens only when I’m exporting to PDF, its fine when I export to jpg but the resolution is not what I want. I am using a pro account so this shouldn’t be happening. PLEASE HELP!      

A few clients have complained to me that they cannot access our Chat conversations from the mobile app. I have tried to access but do not see that functionality. Anyone know about this? If not a feature of the mobile app, will it soon be?

Is it possible to use miro to record (using screen recording) an online course from which I would gain revenue?

Hi all, I’m considering a reasonably large scale deployment of Miro and can’t quite work out what the client experience will be. I like that they can be partitioned into teams - great - but what I really want is to be able to invite them to a workshop so that they can edit a board without them having to create a Miro account. Privacy is important, so I need to be able to manage their access.  Practically, there’s no way this would work if I had to ask all my clients to sign up to a third party software and create a new account. If I could send them a link and a password so they can click, type and straight in that would be perfect. Is this possible? Thanks in advance!

Hey, I’ve got about 25 frames of fairly elaborate graphics+text content (series of exercises for a class), would it be better to split it up across 2-3 separate Miro boards for speed/responsiveness, or will that not affect it? Thanks, Paul

in my newbie state i opened an account for an org and that org pays for the account. Now i have another org who also would like to use miro (good advocate here). So I opened another completely different account and it is being paid from a operate account. i would be administering the payment of both.   i the noticed one of the team members who is also on both teams has the option to flick between the account with their same login. i on the other hand have two different emails, two separate accounts.   Is it possible for me to merge my two separate accounts into the one login profile?   Peace   Robin

Hey,    I will host my first remote workshop with Miro tomorrow and was wondering if there is a kind of follow-along mode?    what I mean is: I use presentation mode to show some stuff before we beginn to work with the board.  Is there any way to do this without using screen share?    Additionally is there a collect users function? So if I want people to focus on a special area at the board can I push everyone there to see it or do I need to rely ob facilitating them  move there? 

  hi all,    I’m a teacher exploring using Miro for replacing whiteboard as we move to online education.  I also do some collective drawing exercises so I’m excited to try Miro as a tool in online workshops, etc.  One issue I see is that if I am sharing a board with someone, they can see my drawing update in realtime but if I translate / zoom those transformations are not shared.  For example, I could fill the space with notes and then translate over and draw something else, but their screen is not updated when I change and drawings can quickly become out of the field of view for my students or others I am sharing with.  Is there a way to pass translation and zoom on to other people?    I’d like to make sure they see what I see.  I am a big fan of the infinite canvas model (where you can draw, and pan / zoom, etc) but it feels like unless there’s a way for them to know that the drawing is offscren, it’s un-useful and potentially kind of harmful as I could
