NEW! Announcing the Miro app for Zoom

This morning, I tried the Miro app inside Zoom for the first time, after being an avid Miro/Zoom user for 2 years.

The advantage: I can share a Miro board with the participants of the Zoom meeting with really little effort (one click or so).

The disadvantage: I see all (more than 40) Miro boards in the app on one screen, no project structure behind it. I am trainer and I create 5-10 new boards per training week, so I definitely need to see the project structure so that I don’t share the boards from a previous cohort with this week’s cohort!

Could you add projects to the app, please?

Hi there.  I am in the same situation as @Mariana Cortinhas - except I have a slightly more recent version of Zoom (Version: 5.7.6 (1320)). Sign in fails every time. Have tried reinstalling the app. Have also tried closing and restarting. No joy. @David Grabner have you got any ideas?

Sorry just to clarify - am also on mac High Sierra. And also can only select “create board without registration” - this option also won’t let me sign in to save the board...

Thanks for your feedback @Matthias Bohlen. 
This is very helpful for us to prioritise this discoverability pain point. 

Hi @Michael Cohen we are trying to resolve this issue together with Zoom but they have not prioritised this fix. We will update this channel once we have a resolution. 

For now if you can try to upgrade to the next Mac OS to avoid any issues. Thanks

Can I clarify… does every usef on the Zoom call need to have the Miro for Zoom app installed in their Zoom app to be able to interact with the Miro board?

I can launch the app during a Zoom meeting and share it but it seems to work the same as a Screen Share - whereas I want to obviously have participants interact with the board directly. This seems to be possible from what I saw in the launch video but I can’t get this to work. I feel like there’s a really obvious step I’m missing here!

Hi @Tristan Forrester, yes for now every user in the meeting needs to have the Miro app for Zoom installed to collaborate on the board. We are pushing Zoom to make this experience easier in the future. 

To collaborate on the board with your meeting collaborators you have to ‘send’ (send icon top right in the screenshot below) and everyone who doesnt already have it installed will be asked to install the app.

Let us know if you have additional questions. Thanks 

Hi!  I am in the same situation as @Mariana Cortinhas and @Michael Cohen - except I have a slightly more recent version of Zoom (Version: 5.8.6 (2879)). Sign in fails every time. Have tried reinstalling the app. Have also tried closing and restarting and I bought the better version of Zoom for this. No joy. I attached the screenshots step by step I see them.

  @David Grabner have you got any ideas? 

I had this problem last week, but looks to be working today and I can access my boards in Zoom... I’m excited to try this out!!

When I get to this page, nothing shows up in the drop down menu…

Hi @fzetts that doesnt seem right. Do you see teams available in your dashboard? If not please submit a support request. Thanks

Hi @David Grabner I do have a team profile field in my dashboard:

 Not sure what I’m doing incorrectly…

And thank you for the quick reply!

Hi @fzetts , I cannot figure out from the above why the team selection screen is emtpy. 

Can you try installing another app from our Marketplace and see if you are able to select a team in the installation step? Thanks 

Hi @David Grabner I tried installing Google Drive:

Also no team shows up in the drop down.

Going to clear cache and reinstalling everything from scratch.

Thanks!

Hi @David Grabner 

I reinstalled both Miro and Zoom after clearing browser cache and still no luck. Still no team option in the drop down field.

Send help! I want to use Miro to teach workshops in Zoom!

Thanks!

Hi @fzetts were you able to install GoogleDrive in the end with selecting a team? 

Hi @David Grabner, no it still has the same issue with GoogleDrive.

I’m not managing to use the app in zoom. when trying to sign in I’m getting a message sign-in failed, try again. Any advice?

I have recently started working with the Miro app for Zoom. I want to say that IT IS AWESOME!

It has changed the interaction with my students (I do professional training sessions for companies) and has simplified my students’ screen: they don’t need to open two windows any more (Zoom + Miro separately) and instead they can have just one window. So MUCH easier.

I love that I can start sharing a Miro board in Zoom at the start of the session, and that Miro board remains available to students even as they move in and out of the breakout rooms. Just seamless integration. Beautiful.

My only concern is the UI on the Zoom app is the “old” UI, and it’s different from what students see if they open the Miro board URL directly in their browser. Can the Zoom app’s UI be updated?

Hi ​@Valerio Zanini,

The Miro team is constantly working on updates to improve the experience across all integrations, so your observation about the UI difference is super valuable. While I can’t confirm any specific updates at the moment, I’ll share your suggestion with the team.

In the meantime, you could share the board with your students as visitors by enabling the “Anyone with the link - edit access” option. This way, they can access the board directly in their browser with the updated UI.

Thanks again for your thoughtful feedback! Let us know if you have any other questions or insights to share.
