Dedicated section for Speaker/Facilitator Notes

I 100% agree! It would be so convenient to have this. The visual notes that are currently available do not provide a sufficient workaround for this. Vote for this!

@Erin_ this appears to be available via the latest notes from the MIRO Change log: https://miro.com/changelog/

@Kevin Kinisky - Nice find! I am also seeing mention of this in the Interactive Presentation Mode help center article: https://help.miro.com/hc/en-us/articles/8512850754962#h_01HMVE6QNTQEQ6AS7J46M3X6YH

However, I am not finding this feature on any of my accounts/teams.

@Sophia Chia - Are you able to speak to the availability of the Presenter Notes feature?

Presenter notes

Add presenter notes to your frames for a more organized presentation. Presenter notes will appear in a separate window that's only visible to you. Utilize these private cues and reminders to deliver a smooth and confident presentation as you navigate through your slides.

There are two ways to access your Presenter notes: 

1. Access presenter notes from the board. 

In the bottom left corner of the board, click the Open frames icon. Next to the Present button, click the three dots (...) and select Presenter notes.

2. Access presenter notes while in presentation mode.

In the presentation toolbar on the bottom of your screen, click the Preferences icon, and select Presenter notes.

Hi @Robert Johnson and @Kevin Kinisky :) 

Sorry there has been a slight delay in Presenter notes release, but it should be there now!  

That’s fantastic! I had the same issue as @Robert Johnson earlier, but I just saw that the feature is up and running now. Thanks, @Sophia Chia  Chia! Quick follow-up question (apologies if it’s been asked before): What's the difference between the presenter note and the general note feature at the top?

Hey @Moby ! 

The Notes feature is is a general text editor used for many different purposes: 

You might use it as a to-do list, meeting agenda, or board summary to go with the board. 

The Presenter Notes is designed for the specific case of when you are presenting the board to someone, and you don’t want other people to see your notes, then you can use Presenter notes because it allows you to populate text in a separate window, which you can hide from your audience on a different screen. :) 

The other thing to note about Presenter Notes is that it is tied to your frames on the board. So when you hit presentation mode, you can see the notes by each presented frame. 

Hope that helps, and please let me know if you need any further clarification! 

Here is also the help center article for Presenter Notes: https://help.miro.com/hc/en-us/articles/8512850754962-Interactive-Presentation-Mode#h_01HMVE6QNTQEQ6AS7J46M3X6YH

Thanks for the detailed explanation, @Sophia Chia . So, am I right in understanding that the Notes feature can't be hidden from my audience, and only the Presenter Note has that capability? Really appreciate your help and patience here

From my testing, the Visual Notes panel is visible to anyone with access to the board (team members, guests, and visitors), while the presenter notes are available to all team members and any guests. 

In short,  neither notes panels are private/board owner only.
