Hi All…

I’m relatively new to miro, I’ve been invited to collab on a board & I’m finding it a very useful daily tool… However, because I was invited to use a board I can’t seem to create my own. The person I’m collaborating with has 3 boards, will this be restricting me to create a board of my own?


I’ve been looking around but I can’t seem to find a solution to just collaborating on the one board & then creating my own… Would it be down to the settings of the owner of the board I was invited too?

 

Can anyone help?

@TobyD Your situation is common. Someone invites a user to join Miro and the user becomes a member of their team. This is different from when someone goes to miro.com and signs up new - they then have their own free plan team.

To create your own team, you could:

1. Leave the team you are currently a member of, at which point Miro will promptnyoubto create your own team.

2. After you create your own team, you could ask your friend to invite back to their team/board.

Once you are a member of two or more teams, you can switch between them by following these instructions:

Let us know how it goes or if you have more questions.
