Formulas for Miro

Hello everyone! I’m working on a new app for Miro called Formulas and I’d love to get feedback from the community here. The Formulas app brings your Miro board to life by enabling board items to dynamically change their values and colors based on the other items in your board. Check out the video below for the full pitch, but here are some examples of what the plugin can do: Run calculations like Sum or Average against the items in your board Create a sticky that changes its background color to red automatically if it has a negative number Make a text block that combines the text of all items inside of a frame. Keep the value of a sticky in sync with another sticky or text block on the board. Count the number of dots in frames as a custom voting exercise I’m nearly happy with the basic functionality of the app currently, but I don’t have a clear idea of real-world use cases, so please tell me what you think. Do you think this app is just a fun gimmick or would it help with something yo

Miro Desktop App vs. Web Browser

Okay community, vote and settle this debate! Which one do you prefer and why? Desktop/Mobile App vs. Web Browser I prefer the desktop app because I like to keep my browser tabs minimal and organized. I cannot have too many open at one time! I think of Miro as a program so I like to use it like an application and not a website. I’ll use the mobile app from time-to-time to make quick notes or edits. It’s a good tool to have even though I don’t use it that often.

using pre-recorded video for Talktrack

I’ve been working out how to use pre-recorded videos for Talktrack, so that I can get the delivery right, apply edits, then navigate the board. Set up an OBS Virtual Camera and add your pre-recorded video as a Media Source. Ensure that the audio from the media source is being sent to the virtual camera with the Monitor and Output setting. Route your audio to a virtual sound source. If you’re on a Mac I’ve found Blackhole to be the best way to do this, and the Multi Output Device preset is ideal as it will enable you to hear the audio whilst navigating the board as part of the Talktrack recording. Select your virtual webcam and virtual sound source as part of the Talktrack recording. 🎥… Profit! Of course, this will be redundant if it becomes possible to upload videos to Talktrack, but until then...

Tips for organizing large Miro boards effectively?

Hi everyone, I’m working on a project where my team and I are using Miro to map out a really complex workflow. The board has gotten quite large, and it’s starting to feel a bit overwhelming to navigate and keep things organized. Does anyone have any tips or best practices for: Structuring large boards? Keeping things visually clean and easy to follow? Helping team members quickly find what they need? I’d love to hear how others are tackling this! Thanks in advance. 😊

Zoom / Size best practices?

I’m brand new to Miro and working on creating a large board for facilitating an all day workshop for a smallish group. I initially started by copying over some templates, but as I got comfortable I just started creating my own thing. I’ve discovered that I’m having to use text sizes of 900 for example, and the zoom is set to just a few %. Is there any problem with this? Should I be targeting using “normal” text sizes and doing everything at 100%, or is it totally irrelevant as long as I keep things in proportion to one another? I’m worried that I’m going to get even more hours into setting this up and suddenly realize that actually having apparently huge everything actually screws me up somehow. Any thoughts much appreciated! Thank you,

Do you use Miro for product planning?

We all know how challenging product planning sessions can get—trying to align on priorities, managing feature requests, and ensuring everything stays connected to the overall development process can feel like herding cats, especially when dealing with teams spread across different locations worldwide. At our company, we faced this challenge too. Initially, we used Miro solely for brainstorming sessions. However, we decided to experiment further and began utilizing it for ideation and product planning as well. We quickly discovered that transferring information from our GitHub issues to Miro was a hassle because it required us to copy and paste chunks of information. To streamline this process, we developed an app to integrate GitHub, allowing us to import issues easily and eliminate manual work. Over time, we realized the need for a template to avoid rebuilding the page repeatedly. Now, with our tailored template, we efficiently map out roadmaps, plan features, and track tasks. Our tai

#MiroAI AI Engine to read an image of a diagram and create a Miro Board

#MiroAI I frequently get diagrams in images (jpg, png, gif, etc.). It would be awesome to have an AI engine that could do an “OCR” type scan, but convert everything in the image of the diagram into an editable Miro Board with Miro Components (not just putting the image into a Board, but converting the image into Miro components in a new Board). This would be a life changer!!!

New app: Mapsy – Create a mind map node from a Card, Shape, Sticky Note, or Text

I have been using the Miro Assist Expand with ideas action on mind map nodes and am loving it. However, what has frustrated me is, when I have another objects type, e.g., a sticky note from a brainstorming activity and I want to turn it into a mind map, I have to copy the text, create a mind map, and paste the text into the mind map – that is just too many steps. Given there was no “switch type” action to convert objects into mind maps, but there is CRUD (create, read, update, delete) mind map in the Miro SDK in an experimental release, I had the idea to take @Yash's open-source Cardsy app (that makes cards from other objects) and use it to make a one-click solution to create mind map nodes from other objects. Thanks to @Max Harper for assisting with the final lines of code, you can try it our for yourself here.

How do you make it easier for stakeholders to participate in design reviews?

Hello Miro community, I’m following up on a previous post I made about using Autodesk and Miro together for design reviews. This time, I want to dive deeper into two specific topics: Design reviews across disciplines Many design reviews involve stakeholders who aren’t familiar with technical tools like Autodesk. How do you structure your Miro boards or facilitate discussions to make sure that non-technical participants can engage productively and meaningfully? What are the specific ways you use Miro to make them more accessible? Streamlining approvals Capturing feedback and securing sign-offs during reviews can often be a bottleneck. What strategies or workflows have you found effective in making this process more efficient? Do you rely on Miro for this, or do you integrate other tools alongside Autodesk and Miro to manage approvals? I’d appreciate hearing how your teams navigate these challenges and any best practices you’ve developed. Some ideas from our template Our team developed a

List of shape options with smaller radius corners

I recently noticed a colleague using a shape that had smaller radius corners than the basic rounded rectangle shape, and that the corner size remained the same as the shape was resized. Upon further investigation, I found they were using the UML → Activity diagramming shape. And after some more digging, I saw that the UML → Interface object had even smaller radius corners. Here is a board I put together with the different shapes I found (feel free to copy the board by clicking on the board title and using the Duplicate action): While these other shape objects solve my problem of the basic rounded rectangle shape’s corners being way too big (as noted in this Wish List idea post) when I need to make the rectangle very big, the only downside I am seeing is that the font size does not scale with the shape:

How do you conduct design review sessions with Autodesk and Miro?

Hello everyone! Our team has been exploring ways to make design reviews more seamless, especially for teams that use Autodesk and Miro together. If you’re using both tools, I’d love to learn more about your workflow. For example: How do you transfer designs from Autodesk into Miro? What’s your process for adding annotations, feedback, or markups? Do you use Miro to present your designs to clients? If yes or no, we’d love to hear the reasons! What recurring challenges during design reviews? If you could improve one thing about how these tools work together, what would it be? Just a quick note that our team did create Autodesk for Miro, which connects Miro with Autodesk and enables the designs to be reviewed and improved further by teams. We’re hoping to better understand the challenges people face in this space so that we can improve their workflows further. Please share your thoughts, tips, or gripes below. It’ll be super helpful!

Wish list improvements

Hi All, I feel that the miro wish list as it is today is almost useless - At least from a user point of view. Also I am sure it is of little use for developers also. The issues with the current wish list are Once you create a wish it is visible for a few days. Then it goes down in the list as the list is sorted with the newest first. This results in people requesting duplicate wishes or not able to vote for a good wish. Having a better search will surely eliminate duplicates. Also it may be good to categorize the wishes to enable easy identification of wishes. May be we can have attributes to wishes like “enterprise feature” or “import and export” etc. That will go a long way in solving this issue. A person would be interested in his / her wish. Today once the wish is recorded - if you visit again after a week it becomes very difficult to find your wish. Also if you have multiple wishes and have forgotten your wishes - you cant even search for the same. The solution is to have a menu s
