Hello,
As a researcher, I often use Miro for virtual group work around sensitive topics. The ‘show author’ feature, that anyone on the board can use, removes anonymity and stifles open, creative expression. Without a way to turn off this feature, I can’t use Miro for sessions where were looking for feedback or tapping into more sensitive topics.
For example, I have a session about vulnerability at work that I am leading. For a week before that session, we will have the Miro board open so people can enter in what makes them feel vulnerable at work, and then there will be a workshop to discuss and solve. However, if anyone can click and see who wrote a post it note, it completely removes anonymity. Choosing whether to show yourself, or be anonymous, is a huge benefit of Miro, PLEASE ALLOW BOARD OWNERS TO TURN OFF ‘SHOW AUTHOR’, so that anonymity can be maintained when desired.
