Resources for new guest users

Hi!

Miro used to offer some great “getting started” resources for people who have never been on a Miro board. Tutorials to practice doing basic things like navigating on a board, writing text, adding a sticky note, or adding a shape. You could watch the instructions and then practice the skills.

It’s been a while since I shared resources like this with new users and none of my old links work anymore. I’ve been searching in the Academy and the help database and cannot find anything that is designed for this entry-level user to help them feel more assured in using a board. Because Miro is super intuitive - only once you’ve learned how to use it. The resources I’m finding that are for “getting started” are about creating and designing your own boards and upselling the AI features.

Does anyone have practical resources to share with new guest users who may be technologically hesitant or unfamiliar with using much beyond basic word processing and browsing online?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Rachel

First I fully agree with what you say. Once you know it, you know it. But until you know it, you don’t know it - and many, many people really, really struggle.  I onboard up to 100 new people each year so I also do exactly what you want: give them a practice board that guides them through it and also shows them the features.

You might find some templates on the Miroverse, like these:

https://miro.com/templates/miro-engage-playground/

https://miro.com/templates/miro-basics-guide-for-new-participants/

 

I wrote my own - which you might consider doing - because I could stress the specific things I needed. 

Good luck!
