Is it possible to reduce the symbols and options in the toolbar on the left hand side for invited attendees of a workshop? e.g. just let them the option of moving, adding posts and nothing else.
It seems that most attendees are not familiar with digital pinboards and get confused with too many options. They feel stressed and get tired earlier which is not good.
And it happens that they start adding frames unvoluntarily while trying to navigate. After my last remote workshop there was a dozen of frames scattered all over the pinboard.
PS: I love working with the MIRO pinboard! It’s really amazing! Thanks for the cool tool!
Hi @Fra as far as I am aware, there isn't a simplified UI option.
My good practice is to have pre-workshop session (20-30 mins) for participants to try out Miro in a facilitated environment. You can take this opportunity to do an ice-breaker and at the same time to learn the Miro tools. This way, it doesn't take away time during the main workshop itself.
If the above is not possible, then create the most simplest board that you can to achieve the learning outcome and spend at least 10-15 minutes to show your participants on how to use those 3 tools (and nothing else.) It's good to remind them repetitively about this.
To do so, use your screen sharing feature in your video conferencing tool such as Zoom or Google Meet so that they can see and understand where and what to click on within Miro.
I hope that helps.
