Hi there! My name is Kate, I am a Product Manager for Consultant Solution at Miro. I want to share some use-cases and ideas about the ways of collaboration with clients in Miro: 1. Workshops It is easy to set up the client workshop in Miro. You can use Day Passes for one-time collaborators (so you don’t need to buy a full license) and tools to facilitate a workshop (timer, voting, video chat, screen sharing). Here is a helpful How-to video about making a workshop in Miro, worth watching if you’ve already made a lot of workshops or in the process of preparation for the first one.  2. Brainstorming sessions Miro is easy to use for an ideation process, usually, I use stickies and a mind map. You can have some boards for your ideas only, some boards for generating ideas with your team and a special board for discussing ideas with your client. 3. Content hub, getting feedback Miro is great as a single hub for all relevant documents, diagrams, pictures and so on. You can have the whole cli

Hey everyone! I wanted to share a little bit more about Miro Live Embed which we announced yesterday. Miro Live Embed enables you to access your Miro boards from many of your favorite team collaboration products, including: Airtable, Coda, Confluence, Jira Software, Trello, Procore, RemoteHQ, and Whereby.  We hope the Live Embed experience makes your workflows simpler, removing the need for hopping between tabs and tools, and helps put the whiteboard at your fingertips when you need it most. We also hope that we can make it easy for any product or service to benefit from a live collaborative whiteboard experience, without requiring a lot of development effort. Our API makes it really easy to integrate Live Embeds, with partners having done it in just a few hours. If you’re interested in integrating we’d also love to hear from you.  Check out the announcement blog, share with your friends and co-workers, and let us know what you think or what tools you’d like to see with live embed!
