Inspiration and connection

Hey fellow Miroers. As noted by @German Manvelov in this post, it looks like there are number of changes in the way Mind Maps, some noted in the updated Mind Maps and others not.Some of the changes:Reassigning nodes - Noted in the help article, you can now reassign a child/parent node by simply clicking and dragging it - however, as noted by @German Manvelov, this is perhaps not as polished as it could be and appears to create some challenges, especially if you you are simply try to move the node and not reassign in. Here I am just clicking and dragging a node - watch as it reassigns itself as I jus

Hey Amazing Miro Community!As many of you know, the North American chapter of the Virtual Miro User Groups is led by @Annie and me, and we host monthly events to showcase speakers on their area of expertise and how they are using Miro in new or amazing ways.I wanted everyone to know about the cool virtual event we have coming up this Wednesday, February 24, at 4:00 pm PST. It is our first Ask Me Anything type event, and we have six amazing former speakers and community members, including:@Robert Johnson, @Cozy Juicy Real, @Natalie Mandriko, @Matthew Stephens, @Kim White, and Greg Kozera.

I’m looking for some advice and guidance on using miro for a working group.  If they are looking to post many documents, weblinks, images etc  within key themes - what is the best way to organize this? Folders?  Multiple boards?   Is it searchable?  Can they be nested within each other? If this a good tool for curating content/cataloguing content - or would you use a different tool such as google drive?  I like the visual nature of it, easy ability to upload - but I am not sure if Miro is a good tool for such work.  We are new at using it so any advice would be great.  Thanks,Julie

Please Miro Gods! Almighty pros! Tell me I can define a finite space so my non-native-late-adopters can stop getting lost.  I realize they can click on "me" to get back, but the stress of it all is robbing me of workshop time and the participants of a stress free experience.  Would also love to be able to lock half the features so I can introduce people to one tool at a time. Is that a thing?  Cortisol + learning curve+ more space than we need= creativity drain.

For our November Miro APAC VMUG workshop we had the awesome @NurulFathiyah lead us through an incredible Amazing Race style session: a board with various activities and clues, and teams spread in separate Zoom breakouts racing around the virtual world.Watching what unfolded was awe inspiring, and expanded what I personally thought was possible using a few simple structures and tools combined with Nurul's awesome facilitation.Feedback was great:"One of the things I really loved this was at some stages all the teams had the same task in the same city and then at other times we went to different places. Plus there were elements of choice too. ""I’ve never seen the programme was based on but the game made sense anyway, which shows how well it was designed and explained.""Awesome and especially unique experience! This offered a good idea of how this

Hey everyone! Happy Friday 😊   I don’t know about you but lately I’ve been having soooo many video conferencing calls. Back to back. One zoom call to a google hangout to a FaceTime and so on and so on. I completely understand that during this time we’re all trying to stay connected and can feel isolated just being at home but I’ve almost hit a breaking point.    How are all of you handling this? Any tips and tricks?     

Hi there, I’ve been using MIRO for about 4 weeks now, and I was wondering if anyone has tips on design best practices when it comes to balancing text size, to frame size, to zoom ratio? (if that makes sense)

Who here works in a learning and development or training capacity at their company or uses Miro for those purposes?I’d love to hear how you’re using it to foster engagement and facilitate learning in the workplace.What boards are you using?What templates are most useful for you?what works? What doesn’t? 

I have several clients and I want to work with them separately. I bought a consultant plan - and now have a question - how to orginize work with my clients? Do I need to open new teams or I should make new project at the my main team and invite consultants there?I don’t want to pay extra money for additional licenses I want that boards created for each client see only this client.

Hallo an alle deutschsprachigen Miro-User,vor ein paar Monaten hat Michael Landers hier bereits mit seinem Post dazu angestoßen, die deutsche Miro-Community voranzubringen. (Klickt auf seinen Post um uns darüber zu informieren wer ihr seid und wofür ihr Miro nutzt). Nun bin ich froh euch mitteilen zu können, dass am 3. Februar ab 17:00 Uhr das erste deutschsprachige Miro-Event stattfinden wird!Hier könnt ihr euch für das kostenfreie Event anmelden:https://events.miro.com/events/details/miro-eme

Hi everyone! I’m representing MitOst e.V., a not-for-profit organization based in Berlin. We mostly engage with such topics as non-formal education (our horizontal school is in charge), active citizenship, and cultural exchange. I’d like to invite you to the workshop/reflection session on Jan 28 where we as a team will be sharing our experience with miro and how we integrate it in our everyday life (we’ve discovered so many unusual ways of using it!). I’ll paste the full description of the event below.For your convenience, here is a FB event and here is the registration form. The participation is free. Ask me anything you want! 

Back in the days when Miro was called “realtimeboard,” the platform was shared with me through a colleague and it was the resource for work that I never knew I needed. Since then, Miro has changed the way I work for the better! I manage 20+ different apps and brands with a remote team. Miro helps me keep projects organized while being able to make quick notes, start designs, and plan on multiple levels. Check out some of the work I get done in my screenshots below, hopefully it will help you work on your own boards. And not shown in the pictures is a hidden gem… I have a frame called “whiteboard” it is exactly what is sounds like, its a place to just write anything like an old school whiteboard    App desi

Hi, everyone.  My Miro recommendation was accepted in this Compt blog (under the “Use the Right Tool(s)” section):  https://www.compt.io/communication-strategies-for-remote-teams  

Hi, Miro Community. I created a 1-hour video tutorial of (almost) all Miro features and functions. Each specific function is time stamped in the Youtube video description. The video covers with navigating, then left side menu functions, onto tips for sharing boards with others, and finally the bottom left menu’s presenting and facilitating options.  I hope it helps new users as well as experienced users who might see something they’ve never used. The video is public and sharing is welcome.www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJG2LUmyv2E&feature=youtu.be  

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…

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 engagem

Hi Miro Heroes, We’ve launched this Miro Online Community in March this year. And it is already a place for more than 7k community members, who created more than 9k posts!    As a Community Manager, I would love to provide the best experience for all of you. Hence the questions:What goals do you want to achieve with Miro Online Community? What would be a perfect online community for you?

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

Hi Miro Community, Happy to share with all of you that we are lucky to have two awesome Moderators in our online community! I’m sure you already know them, but it’s time to announce this officially. Please give a warm welcome to:   @Kiron Bondale   @Robert Johnson  Robert and Kiron, a huge shout-out to both of you for your dedication and willingness to help and support our Miro Community 

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.
