Miro user interface

I have been using Miro for several months now. I love the complexity of the boards I can build (and the simple ones too).  But I have found it’s user interface horrible. I often drag things when I want just to change position of what I have on the board. I have difficulty clicking where i can change text or selectin an item to move. I am not a software newbie - but continue to struggle.Maybe I just haven’t slowed down enough.  I was wondering if others had this problem and what I can do about it.

Google "Shared Drive" integration issue

Hi There,I am trying to attach files to my Miro boards from Google “Shared Drive” folders, but Miro does not see the folders within the shared drive, only files in the parent shared drive itself. Is anyone having this problem and have a work around?ThanksPaul.

Playing embedded video on "Bring Everyone to Me" or "Following" mode

Is there any way to play an embedded video on the guest screen when they are following me or I bring everyone to me.  The presentation goes as expected, navigating all of them to what I see and transition between slides, but no video play on their screen, everyone has to press the play button on their own and the presentation is no longer synced.  Thaks for your help!

Hi, is it possible to turn off the lasso tool?In a client workshop yesterday a participant managed to accidentally grab dozens of elements and drag them out of main view.  The only way I think they could do that is with the pen / lasso feature…Any advice would be welcome!

Password Protection for Frames?

Can a Frame or section of a grid be password protected so changes can only be made by someone who holds the password?  I use Miro for online photography critiques and it has been a bit of a problem as students have inadvertently altered other students work.  It seems that the locking function is not adequate.  If no, is there another way to password protect parts of a board?  Thank you!

Sticky Note (or similar) with the same content

I am using MIRO to define requirements. I write the requirement on stickies. Some requirements will be used in multiple places on the board. If I change a requirement then I would like for the other stickies with the same requirement to update automatically. Is that possible?

Any way to create a new Google Sheets row when creating a Miro card?

I’m seeing integrations between Miro and Google Sheets (and Airtable) going one way: Create a row or make a change in Sheets and it triggers an action in Miro, but I’d like to do the opposite. When I make a new card in Miro, I want it to trigger a new row in Google Sheets. Possible?

How much Data can a Miro Board handle?

We are organizing a virtual event for a client with 250-300 participants which includes creating a virtual group picture out of uploaded selfies on a Miro-Board.Therefore we would like to ensure a smooth functionality and are wondering if we have to identify a data limit for the pictures themselves.Can anyone help?  Cheers from Germany,Lina

Can I select-all (or maybe just lock-all)

Hi there! I find myself zooming out (carefully trying not move things around while doing it), selecting all the items in a board and then locking them very often. It’d be nice to have a shortcut for this action. If not I guess I’ll try to develop a web-plugin that does it (it shouldn’t be very hard).   Thanks, Alan
