so is there a limit where in the usability of the board will not suffer?
we peaked at 195 users in our board and the loading takes forever.

The plan you are on shouldn’t affect the performance of your board. Have you taken a look at this Help Center page to see if there are ways to optimize the board for use by that number of users: https://help.miro.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013588560-Tips-to-Improve-Board-Performance ?

Hi @James Brian Tan 

Welcome to the Miro Online Community!

Make sure you are using an enterprise plan for 100+ team members!

and do check your internet bandwidth!

You can also ask Miro support https://help.miro.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020185799

@James Brian Tan - There is absolutely no need to sign up for a 100+ team member account. While I have no experience with the Enterprise Plan, I presume that a 100+ member team would cost over $1,000 USD a month.

@James Brian Tan I facilitated 200 participants in South Africa 2 weeks ago on a single Miro board (I’m based in Singapore), and we had very limited lag or loading issues. Here are the 2 things you need to ensure if you’re having that many participants:

  • As little graphic images as possible in your Miro board. That will cause local-level slowness and loading problems. Vector images are fine though.
  • Turn off cursors. This is part of onboarding: you need to communicate this to participants to actively ‘hide cursors’. They look really pretty rad when everyone’s on at the same time, but takes enormous amount of processing power.

I wrote all about the experience here, if it helps!

Very much in line with Kiron’s advice although I’d focus on those 2. And certainly no need for enterprise plan. I had everyone on Guest Editors :joy:
