    Receive Notifications when @mentioned anywhere in a boardDelivered

    The @mention functionality is not consistent.When a user is @mentioned in a Comment, they receive an email notification (if setup).However, if they are mentioned in a chat, they do not. AND, @mentions do not even work outside of Comments or Chats.When a user is @mentioned in a chat, they are currently not receiving any notifications - email, mobile push, or Slack.Use CaseGiven a user is @mentioned in a chat and they are not actively on the board (or at least the chat windows is not open?) at the time of the @mention, then a notification would be sent to the @mentioned user, e.g., similar to @mentions in Comments.Here is the Got a question? post that sparked this Wish List post:https://community.miro.com/got-a-question-ask-the-community-45/atmention-notifications-in-chat-1641Some links to current documentation regarding @mentions in chatsThis @Mentioning People on the Board help article is misleading, specifically where it states, ‘you may need to quickly notify someone about the changes you’re making. You can do that by simply @mentioning them in a comment or chat.’  I have tested this and no notifications are sent.Further review led me to this article, which more accurately describes the actual behavior:The Chat help article that is linked to from the @Mentioning People on the Board article does do a better job at explaining the current, intended behavior:

    Better handling of iframe embedding.Open

    The ability to render iframes the way anyone who uses iframes expects them to work would unlock a world of potential with our whiteboards.Right now, every time I try to embed anything using the iframe embed tool, I end up with the same result. I get a 16:9 aspect ratio box with a generic "documents and stuff" icon in the middle, with an ugly play button covering it up. I cannot resize the box without keeping the aspect ratio.In most cases, anything I have tried to embed does not scale to fit the box properly (after hitting the play button to reveal it). I have zero control over sizing the box or any other properties that would give me control over how the content is displayed.Being able to embed content within a box that I control the size of, with the ability to scale the embedded content to fit the width of that box (with scrollbars appearing as necessary for any vertical content that extends past the height of that box) would be perfect.How many UX Designers would shout for joy if they could embed the first page of a Figma prototype onto a Miro board, and then allow people to click through it within that iframe window?I have had at least a dozen ideas regarding how the embedding of content within an iframe on a board would be a GREAT presentation tactic, everything from a clickable prototype from Figma, a live demo of a website in progress, or static web content from another source that has no easy way of being translated into a Miro board.From a technical standpoint, if Miro already offers the ability to embed iframes, how can increasing the level of control we have with them be hard for the developers to enable?The other side of this problem is the presentation side within Miro. Not having any control over the "thumbnail image" displayed when embedding an iframe and being forced to show a "generic documents and stuff" icon with an ugly play button overlay puts the kibosh on being able to use this ability for any presentations I am working on.

    Interactive SlideshowsDelivered

    Miro has the potential to change online meetups, conferences, and workshops by making a few small tweaks: having better support for slides and presentations mode.For my workshops, I recently put all of my slides on the Miro board. I exported from powerpoint, and put 100+ images on the Miro board organised into small lectures.What I discovered, is that as I was talking through the slides, people were adding stickies and links all around my slides. It wasn’t just me presenting, the lectures became interactive, too.I would like to do all of my talks at meetups and conferences this way. However, the experience isn’t smooth enough yet. Some of the problems are:I can’t use presentation mode: I have too many slides in my workshop to make each one a frame (4 day workshop, hundreds of slides When people start adding notes and comments, they stop following me, so they can lose track of which slide I am on. I have to manually scroll between slides rather than a simple click (because I’m not using frames, see 1) I can’t easily hide slides that I don’t want people to see yet (I can but it would make preparing the board more time consuming and presenting less fluent)I think these problems are super easy to solve for the smart people at miro:Create the concept of a slideshow/story using dedicated slide objects (don’t try and bend frames to be slides) Improve the presentation mode so that the active slide is highlighted in some way (if people want to go back to a previous slide or finish adding notes they can, but they can always see where the presenter is) Allow me to move between slides using a single button click (without making them frames) Show slides that haven’t been presented yet in some type of hidden stateI think this feature fits within the Miro portfolio. I’m already doing this in my workshops and it’s great to not have to switch between Miro and Powerpoint with screen sharing. It also means people have access to all of the slides and the slides themselves become a living space where people can share their notes and questions.If anybody wants more information about this, or how I’m currently doing it, feel free to ask.
