Accessing the template picker from the main Board menu?

I’ve been working extensively with templates over the last week - I’ve created ~40 custom templates so far for our class exercises and love the feature. I have two questions: What controls the behavior of the context menu (e.g. Edit & Delete) in the template picker as it seems to be appearing inconsistently? Is there any way to access the template picker directly from the main Board menu without having to either be in a board OR be saving a new template? Thanks! Kiron

Setting up voting ahead of time?

Hey All,  I’m looking for some tips on doing effective voting in a Miro board. We’re holding an ideation session and need to run several rounds of “dot voting” on post-its to prioritize both needs to address and concepts. We’ll be using different sets of criteria for each round of voting (e.g. most differentiated, most aligned with our purpose). There will be 10 participants and we’re trying to set all the activities up in the board ahead of time. I’m experimenting with the voting plug in but it seems like I can only create a voting session in the moment as opposed to setting up the parameters and saving the session for future use. Does anyone know if it’s possible to set a voting session up ahead of time? Should we be thinking about voting in a different way? One alternative is to have participants do the emoji commenting instead. What have you guys had success with?

Why does the A4 frame size vary in size?

I created a bunch of objects and then added them to a frame with a custom size. Later I changed one frame size to A4, and then the one next to it to A4 as well. One is larger in size than the other one. I thought A4 would have been a fixed frame size. Instead, it appears that it is a ratio. See the example below:

How does a Team Admin delete another members' board?

We’ve just started using Miro at the company I work for in the last 3 months or so, and cannot find a way for our Project Manager to delete others’ boards / projects in our Miro account / team. Based on the documentation I’ve found on Miro’s site, it seems that Team Admins are not really admins at all, as only board owners are able to delete or backup their boards. This makes sense from an ownership standpoint, however, it leaves our workspace cluttered with rogue / old boards. Our Team Admin shouldn’t have to remove the member from the Team entirely just to Administrate their boards, and manually reaching out to these team members occupies time in our work day because many team members are remote. Questions for the Miro Team: Can we get a more granular permission system so those with the Team Admin role can actually, you know, administrate the team / account? Or is this only possible if we have Company Admins through an Enterprise level account? Or will deleting & backing up board

How many people can I see in video chat?

Hi, I’ve read that 25 users can use the video chat feature for a video conference. I’ve not been able to find out how many of those 25 people can I actually see. Is it one active speaker system? All 25 in a gallery view? Something in between? Can it be changed? Thanks for any help. KD.

Invite new user and invite user buttons are missing for one board

I'm an admin. On one of my Miro boards I see two pages that both have a way of adding team members, and on another of my team boards these buttons don't exist. I don't see anything different in settings and can't figure out why the projects are behaving differently?       So on the team without those buttons, I don't see an easy way to add anyone to the team?     Please help

Non-Team Member & Refreshing

Hello! We have a non-team member with an “issue.” If a Team member updates a linked document, does the non-team member get the updated version when he opens the board. It appears he is unable to refresh the linked doc.   Thanks! Monica

Copy / Paste from / to outside of Miro

Hello, First, the FAQ states that when copying cells from a spreadsheet and pasting in Miro, each cell should appear as a individual post-it. It does not. As far as I am concerned, I get a single text box with each cell becoming a line of text. Also, it seems impossible to simply select a few post-its and paste their content as a list / multiple cells in a word document / spreadsheet. While Miro is integrated in lots of other tools and this is great, not supporting this seemingly simple feature is a terrible waste of time (Mural supports it for example). So, am I doing things wrong or is it really not possible? (And don’t tell me that I need to export a CSV file, please…  ) Thanks in advance for the support Regards, Maxime

Is it possible to invite guest viewers to video chat without making them register?

Hi everyone! Is it possible to invite quest viewers to video chat without making them register? I intend to have group online lessons of English but I don't plan to make every student my team member, just a guest with the right to join the video chat and edit the board (at least write something on it). Why do you tend to use external resources (Skype) for the video conference?

Multiple boards for 3 teams working simultaneously?

Hi, we are quite new to Miro and in the process of evaluating the best possible solution for a clients online workshop format. Here’s the challenge: We would need to set up 3 “work rooms” for 3 teams (of 5 each), with each team working on an individual board. After each session, all team members join in the work rooms and discuss the results together. Alternatively we would set up a general space where all teams could meet. However, the moderator should be able to switch rooms seamlessly. In addition it would be great if the 3 teams could use video chat while working on the boards. Thanks for your input!

Follow Along in Presentation Mode

Hey,    I will host my first remote workshop with Miro tomorrow and was wondering if there is a kind of follow-along mode?    what I mean is: I use presentation mode to show some stuff before we beginn to work with the board.  Is there any way to do this without using screen share?    Additionally is there a collect users function? So if I want people to focus on a special area at the board can I push everyone there to see it or do I need to rely ob facilitating them  move there?

How to leave an unknown board

Hi everyone, So I have this weird thing happening to me. I am on Free plan and have 1 board with my student. Some time ago some unknown board has appeared on my dash. I can’t edit it or leave it - actually there are only 3 options - make it private, copy the link and open it in the new tab. It clearly belongs to some other people who are doing some IT stuff but I have no means to contact them and ask them to remove me from there. Moreover, I created 1 one more board for myself and now Miro is telling me that I am over boards limit. It is rather frustrating. Does anyone have a solution to such a problem?

Align supported colors in API with UI

The API allows to use the following colors for widgets (every other color is rejected): #F5F6F8, #FFF9B1, #F5D128, #D0E17A, #D5F692, #A6CCF5, #67C6C0, #23BFE7, #FF9D48, #EA94BB, #F16C7F, #B384BB Yet, the Miro UI itself supports a different set of colors: #fef445, #fac710, #e6e6e6, #f24726, … This confuses users of API generated widgets because they can’t reproduce the same ones in the UI.

Team Permissions

I'm just new to Miro. However, I have followed all passes to set the permissions for my team and It seems it's not working since all team members are able to see and edit all boards even without permission to do it. Any clue to fix this?

Consistent endpoint to trigger OAuth flow

Regarding the docu (https://developers.miro.com/reference#authorization-and-authentication), the endpoint to trigger the oauth flow is “https://miro.com/oauth/authorize” whereas the code exchange endpoint is “https://api.miro.com/v1/oauth/token”. The API calls itself are as well “https://api.miro.com/v1/boards/id”. This is unexpected and not overly nice when writing integration code. It would be better if you the /authorize endpoint would be consistent => https://api.miro.com/v1/oauth/authorize

Remote one-off workshop: can I invite external users with editing rights for free?

Hi everyone - I’d like to run a remote workshop session with around 20 people next week. I am on the Team plan with just 5 seats. If I invite participants to the board for the session, will I be charged the $10 per user prorated per the time they have been on the board or is there an option to get them join for free?   Thank you
