Possible presentation mode with movement via frames in frame mode

Are animated transitions for presentation mode gone again?
I cannot find the “toggle background” button anymore. Instead there is now a function called “start in fullscreen”.
Could anyone tell me how to get back animated transitions please?
Otherwise my presentation is useless.

Hey @Ben222!

We are looking at this now, do you maybe have “Reduced Motion” on? 

Hi @Sophia Chia. Not to start an essay (as I already shared most of this with Kate via Slack), but I will try to summarize as best as I can.

• The majority of my recent use cases for Miro have been to compile and visualize information from various sources, so I can see the bigger. I am primarily adding screenshots and then annotating them with stickies, comments, arrows, etc.
• I sometimes add frames to these boards for the purpose of navigation from the frames sidebar and when I want to present areas of the board (I create an Activity for this as I only need to present a subset of the board).
• Where Present → Board was preferred 
  • Scenario 1: I am sharing my screen while in a video conference call and want to present a clean look of the board, but do not need to go to a specific frame. Now, with no “Present → Board” option, I am forced to snap to a frame and then pan back to where I was before the presentation mode.
  • Scenario 2: I just want to work in a more focused space (no top- left or-right toolbars, mini map, etc.).

If I could start presentation mode without being moved to a frame, that would be ideal. Then, if there were frames present on the board, then the navigation/Frame list could still be present in the presenters toolbar at the bottom, and frames could still be snapped too when clicked - that would be great to have those options there, just as if I started a Present → Frames session. Again, I just want to start presentation mode without being forced to a frame.

Presentation Mode Apps → Creation tools

This is a sore spot for me at the moment. To better understand, let’s consider how I like to work in Miro. I use hotkeys to create Sticky Notes, Comments, Shapes, Text, and Cards.

When I enter presentation mode, the hotkeys do not work. They only work when I enable Show creation tools. That’s great, but that is an extra step as Miro is not storing my preference for this. For Activities (sidebar → Activities), the preferences appear to be stored at the “Activity” level, e.g., on Board A, I enable Creation tools and just for Stickers, while on Board B I enable creation tools for only sticky notes). When I close these boards and later go back, those choices are remembered).  My expectation for starting a presentation mode on a board is the same: My Show creation tools (and selected apps) are remembered for that board.

My other expectation is that hotkeys always work - even when in presentation mode, and with Show creation tools being disabled. If this was the case, then I wouldn’t haven to enable Show creation tools and could have an even cleaner looking board. However, I would still enable show creation tools → Stickers, so I could access stickers while working in presentation/focused mode.

Thanks :)

Hello @Robert Johnson & @Sophia Chia ,

First of all, thank you for your efforts!
I couldn’t fix the problem a week ago. The preference ‘Reduce Motion’ was disabled, but it still wouldn’t work.

What helped me eventually was switching to fire fox. Prior I was using Chrome.

As shown in my Screenshot the Comments actions was missing too as @Robert Johnson already pointed out. 

However, I checked again today and all the missing features are now available in Chrome.
So we can consider my problem solved. :)
Im still curious why this happened though. 🤔

kind regards
Ben
