I’d like to request that Miro restore the legacy presenter transition behavior, or provide it as an optional mode in Presentation Mode.
 

For years, I built my presentations around smooth panning and fly-through transitions between frames and concepts. That motion was not just cosmetic — it was a core part of how I structured and delivered my work. It made presentations feel connected, engaging, and distinctly Miro.

This is now urgent for me because I have over a dozen slides/frames built around that capability, and I have an upcoming talk next week that depends on this presentation style. The newer static presentation experience materially disrupts that workflow and makes much of my existing work far less effective as designed.

I also want to note that this approach had broader value beyond my own use. After previous talks, several people reached out asking how I built those slides, and some started using the same style themselves. That suggests this capability is valuable to more than just one workflow — it helps people create presentations that are memorable, interactive, and easy to follow.

I completely understand that product direction evolves, but removing this behavior without an option to preserve it creates a real regression for long-time users. I respectfully ask that Miro either bring back the legacy transition behavior or add a toggle so users can choose between static slides and the smoother, more dynamic presentation style.

Hi ​@Aman Sharma Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback!

 

Since this is a request to restore or provide an optional version of the legacy presentation transition behavior, I've moved it to the Wish List category so other community members can vote, comment, and share their own use cases. Feedback like this helps the team better understand the demand and impact of a feature request.


Can I add my weight to this. The presentation mode is now horrible. It gives no sense of the board at all. I can’t understand the thinking behind removing the character of the board. I may as well present in PPT mode, which is equally awful.

Please reinstate smooth panning or at least provide the option.

I applaude innovations and iterations but sometimes Miro tends to over-tinker with the product.


I have to agree with those who commented before me. That was an essential feature, precisely because Miro works differently from PowerPoint, etc.
PLEASE make it available again as an option!


This was one of my favourite features. I can’t fathom why you would want to remove this. I already have powerpoint. If I wanted to use powerpoint I would just copy frames as images and paste them into powerpoint... I would also like to add that the mechanic still exists in the product, when viewing the frame sidebar and clicking on each frame in turn it slide navigates between them as it used to do in presentation mode, so the only tweak required would just be to allow frame-based navigation with arrow keys if a single frame is selected. I can see that you’re trying to present slides as the hot new thing, but if distinctly feels like a step backwards to days when people would present with transparent contact sheets and a light projector. We can strategically zoom and pan and do all sorts of fun stuff now, surely embrace that?
