Accessibility

Have been using Miro for a while and love the possibilities it brings to be able to collaborate with a remote team.

Big mindmaps and auto layout

Hi. I have a lot of problems with a big mind map – about 250 presentation frames and more than 1000 different objects. It’s so hard to change/add something and not to break other frames.Each, even relatively small movement of object will also change position of other objects – and in most of the cas...

Replacing PowerPoint with a Miro board

I am running a webinar in a few days and the plan is to use Miro to share content rather than PowerPoint. Its a rather large group so there won't be any participant inputs on the board (I know this is the whole point of Miro). Any thoughts on what the risks of this approach might be??

What are your top tips for rapidly and smoothly onboarding new participants in a live workshop?

Like many of you, I am using Miro for live online participatory workshop events. Almost all of the people attending my events are brand new to Miro, and by far the most difficult part of the workshop is getting them over that first hurdle of learning how to use the tool well enough to participate. H...

Why is the basic mind mapping tool so basic

Hi all! I really like the freedom of mind mapping in Miro.

Hence, I use the Miro mind mapping tool.An...
