Embedded Miro boards are cool, but they’re not responsive. The out-of-the-box HTML embed code for embedding a Miro board on a web page is fixed-size. Your embedded board will look great on a large screen, like a laptop, but not so great on a small screen, like a phone.

Here’s a way to embed Miro boards on a responsive web page. I have an example at https://agilesoftwarecourse.org/backlog . It looks great on any device and screen size (as far as I know :wink: ).

Here’s how to do embed your Miro board on a responsive web page:

  1. Get the embed code for your board:

 

The board’s default embed code will look something like this:

 

  1. Copy-paste that HTML into your web page, for example:

<iframe width-”768” height=”432” src="https://miro.com/app/live-embed/o9J_l6jHaVU=/?moveToViewport=-1758,-1612,1544,919" frameBorder="0" scrolling="no" allowFullScreen></iframe>

  1. Delete the width= and height= parts of the code. Replace them with class="responsive-iframe". Now your HTML will look like this:

<iframe class="responsive-iframe" src="https://miro.com/app/live-embed/o9J_l6jHaVU=/?moveToViewport=-1758,-1612,1544,919" frameBorder="0" scrolling="no" allowFullScreen></iframe>
 

  1. Finally, add this code around your iframe:

<style>
.container {
  position: relative;
  width: 100%;
  overflow: hidden;
  padding-top: 56.25%; /* 16:9 Aspect Ratio */
}

.responsive-iframe {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  right: 0;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  border: none;
}
</style>
<div class="container"> 
YOUR-IFRAME-CODE-GOES-HERE
</div>

 

Continuing my example, my complete code block looks like this:

<style>
.container {
  position: relative;
  width: 100%;
  overflow: hidden;
  padding-top: 56.25%; /* 16:9 Aspect Ratio */
}

.responsive-iframe {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  right: 0;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  border: none;
}
</style>
<div class="container"> 
<iframe class="responsive-iframe" src="https://miro.com/app/live-embed/o9J_l6jHaVU=/?moveToViewport=-1758,-1612,1544,919" frameBorder="0" scrolling="no" allowFullScreen></iframe>
</div>

 

Enjoy your response embedded Miro board!
