Welcome to Miro! We recommend starting by taking a look through the Miro Help Center, or take some courses on Miro Academy to get up-to-speed on all things Miro. 

 

2. I’m new to this community. Where should I start? 

Show content

We’re happy to have you as part of the Miro Forum! The best way to get started is to first look at our Community Guidelines and Forum FAQs.

 

3. Miro Forum: why should I be here?

Show content

We want you to be even more successful with Miro! It is so valuable to chat with peers from the same industry to validate ideas, share knowledge and expertise, give guidance and insight, and connect and engage with each other. This is why we created the Miro Forum.

 

4. How to create a post?

Show content

Pro tip: Use the search first to see if your question has already been asked and answered.

  • If there’s no relevant thread yet, feel free to create a new topic. For this, just click the Create topic button next to your avatar
  • Choose what type of topic you’re going to post. Decide if your topic is a conversation, a question, or an idea
  • Create a short but descriptive title. It should summarize what your topic is about. This way other users can see directly if they are able to help you.
  • Describe what your topic is about. Describe your issue in as much detail as possible. Other users can help you better when they know what you are trying to do (and where you do not get any further). 
  • Choose the relevant category to post your question/conversation.

💡Remember to follow the Community Guidelines when creating new topics.

10. How to delete my Miro Community account?

Show content

 :warning: Community members can’t delete their community profiles themselves. If you need to delete it, please reach out to community@miro.com for assistance. 
Deleting your community profile doesn’t automatically delete your posts — they will be anonymized.

 

11. How to get notified about new topics in the category and new replies in the thread?

Show content

Each time you start a new topic you will automatically be notified via email when that topic receives a reply. 

You can also subscribe to categories to make sure you don’t miss out on any new topics added. Open the category and then you’ll see a button that says Subscribe. To unsubscribe, you will need to just click the same button that will say Unsubscribe.

To subscribe to a particular topic within the category, you will need to click the star icon at the bottom of the post that says Subscribe. Once you click it will turn blue to let you know that you are now subscribed. To unsubscribe you’ll just click that same Subscribe button, and it will then turn grey to let you know that you are no longer subscribed.

 ​​​​💡You can change any of these notification preferences in the settings. 

 

12. Do I need to contact the Support team or ask the community?
