Inspiration

Hi there, Do you use Miro outside work?  We already have examples of creating games on the board  drawing  writing a novel  I’ve heard people use Miro to create moodboards, plan their trips, brainstorm on the design of a new apartment, plan a dream wedding… Please share your examples in the comments! Attach screenshots of your boards if possible 

Hi everyoneWe recently hosted an exhibition opening on Miro. We had a few artists create live drawings on the board and we held an opening speech and discussion via Discord/Miro.Here’s a video we made of the event and we’re hosting an exhibition ‘walkabout’ today at 18h00 CAT. Feel free to join! All the join links can be found here: http://www.openwindow.co.za/now-gallery-and-good-on-paper-present-viral/76814/  

I have spent a lot of time lately translating my in-person training workshop content into a collaborative live online training environment. I've read and seen plenty of best practices from other sharers (thank you!) and created the boards as you can see below. I also managed to deliver a session of this 2-hour live online training workshop with business partners in another country this week. Here are my learnings from that opportunity: Less is seriously more! Miro is such fun to use and I actually built lots of engagements and activities for this session. I probably ended up using 50% of what I built. In an online environment, it takes probably 50% more time to complete activities and discussions than offline. The good thing is I can easily see what's next on my board and skip content/discussion as necessary. Give plenty of ramp up time! The participants love the experience of using Miro, the interactivity and the engagement throughout the workshop. To get to this stage, however, means

Hi there,I’d love to hear some creative ways for how to keep people’s attention/focus during a workshop, whilst giving them enough “quiet” and individual time to work on an activity. So for example…..while setting people free to brainstorm for 10 minutes, I worry that given too much time, some people may drift off to do other work (check email, go get a coffee, etc). Particularly in this virtual space, where we’re not all together in a room. I want to give people enough time/space to work, but not risk losing their overall attention?Any facilitation tips on ways to do this?  Many thanks,Adam

Miro is my new favourite tool!I’m a consultant and trainer in the UK and have written a blog post about my experience with Miro and how I set it up for workshops: Miro is my new favourite tool for online workshops and training.  Thanks also to the community here for sharing so many great ideas.Ian

I’m planning to use Miro while teaching an online math course this Fall. For the synchronous portion, we will break into groups (using Zoom breakout rooms) and each group will work collaboratively on a worksheet, which I will integrate with Miro. Do you think it’s better to have a single board for that day’s lesson, containing a frame for each group? Or create multiple (identical) boards and give one board to each group? Of course a single board is more streamlined and will help me easily see each group’s progress. But my concerns are (a) the groups peeking at each other’s work rather than devising their own original solutions, and (b) one group accidentally messing up another group’s work.

Hi everyone! McCall from Miro here.  I love hearing all of your inspiring stories. I was wondering how Miro has helped you (and your companies) connect and continue working through the last year when in-person work and connection wasn’t possible.  

Hi there Open Window is a design, film and animation college in Pretoria, South Africa.We’re hosting our final year student exhibition on Miro and Discord this evening at 18h00 CAT.Join us!Exhibition links will be published here at 18h00 CAT.Here’s a glimpse of what to expect!

As the Istanbul Literature House, we have completed our first digital Book Fair using Miro's unique features. It was our only second fair of independent publishers but, due to the pandemic, we weren't able to organize it in a physical space. Then we discovered Miro and started to think if it was possible to use its features to set up a digital space where publishing houses could open their stands, just like in a real fair. And it worked out beautifully. Each publishing house was able to work independently on the board, some of them prepared amazingly designed stands. We also organized 36 video events on Zoom and YouTube in nine days. Our Miro space became a place where people could see the programme (by turning the pages of a giant, pdf, booklet), find out the links of the upcoming events, watch the videos of previous events and visit each publishing houses stands to discover and buy some books.The fair has ended now, but we are keeping the board open for a second week. Instead of show

Hello,I just want to share a thing wich is so cool to me and I am really amazed how Visual-Notes could be used:I was searching for a short way to add a Downloadsection into my board - I have tried it by Visual Notes, where I added each PDF-file of the board into a section.I was so amazed about the flexibility that gives me this feature - with the “board object” I can choose each and every element of the board that can be downloaded and give it an optical look and feel of the board.Mironeers / Developers / Software-Engineers you are great!Thank you!!!!Michael

gonna have 2 columns left and rightleft has boxes/items and going to draw arrows from those boxes on left side to right sidewhich template would be best for this?it’s basically a comparison/matching but cant do on google sheets cos cant draw lineswant boxes left right side aligned perfectly automatically 

Summer's here and while a lot of travel for most has been cancelled we can still dream.I've always dreamt of taking a month (or more) long vacation to Italy. Traveling to different cities with my husband and tasting all the great foods and wine.We wouldn't have a very strict schedule and take things very easily. Absolutely no laptops and I wouldn't even think about work.  Describe your perfect getaway!

I’m running my Mindful Drawing online workshop within my Miro board.  I host an audience and use the board’s drawing tool to demonstrate to the audience.  Viewers can work on their tasks off to the side of the main area and I can zoom and pan out to look at their work while keeping an eye on everyone at once.  It’s rad.  I’m also using the collaborative board privately with my artists friends to play around during calls when we catch up during lockdown.     

A colleague of yours might want their own copy of a board you own or a client of yours might want to take a copy of a board from your Miro environment to their own Miro team.Copying a board within the same teamThe simplest approach is for your colleague to duplicate the existing board using the Duplicate command which is available from the “…” menu for the board in the Miro dashboard or in the board settings. You can specify the name of the new board, whether it will get created within the same Miro project as the original board or not, and whether to copy the current share settings. Your colleague will need to have full edit access to the original board to do this.   Another option is for your colleague to create a brand-new board, select all the content from your original board (Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C) and then paste it into your new board (Ctrl-V). Again, this requires that your colleague has full edit access to the original board to do this. Finally, you can create a shared custom templat

Hi there,currently my company is looking for persons to join our Customer Experience Lab. We would like to run a remote accessment-center and invite 3-6 applicants simultaneously.We would like to guide the candidantes through a Design Thinking process and prepare some frames making them work together as a team. We think about running the workshop 2-3 hours.Has anyone been running a accessment-center in Miro before? What are your experiences? Do you have any inspirational boards to share? What Miro licence did you use? Have you been including break-out sessions?Any thoughts welcome :)

1am start time notwithstanding,  @Joshua William Davies and I had a blast of a time co-facilitating this workshop session at Miro’s Distributed 2020 conference last week. We shared about how you can make Miro a safe working and collaboration space for everybody and aspects you can should consider when designing and facilitating experiences within a virtual environment.Do watch the video recording of the session and check out the Miro board itself!   

any uses cases  for note-taking? examples links etcthought this would be good for note-takingor any whiteboarding type app but it’s actually really badcos there’s no screen real estateyou would need a digital whiteboard that takes up the entire wallthen it’ll be useful. until then i dont see how this could be good for note-taking any best examples of uses cases  for note-taking? examples links etc

Hello wonderful Miro Community, On Wednesday October 7th at 4:00 pm PDT, the next Miro Virtual User Group event for North American will be happening, and this month we are featuring Jed and Sophia Lazar of CozyJuicyReal.Jed and Sophia have created a board game that encourages teamwork and good conversations...ones that are cozy, juicy, and real! What began as a physical board game with cards and playing pieces has now become a virtual activity in Miro. Whether you are interested in ways to build stronger teams and relationships, or if you want to see how this pair of inspiring leaders created a virtual board game that is interactive and visually sophisticated, everyone will be able to take away something they can apply in their lives or at their work.More details are available on the Miro Events website, and you can RSVP to register for this free event with your team or on your own. The networking opportunities and great conversations will lead to some new and lasting connections, so s

I want to use Miro for presentations. What is the most efficient way to create a recurring frame in a playlist? For instance, I would like to keep referencing a Main Frame throughout a presentation and thus insert a copy of that frame as a different number, but it doesn’t look like I can make a duplicate of that frame. As the number of frames gets longer, It makes it more difficult to go back to the #1 frame. I guess I could add a shape with a link and put it near the frame I am on. Thanks.
