Non-proportionally scale a pasted image? (ie. make it wider but preserve height)

Is it possible to non-proportionally scale a pasted image within a regular board? (ie. make it wider but preserve height and vice versa)I tried all modifiers while dragging corners/edges, only managed to find a crop function. Surely i must have just missed it somewhere, seeing we are allowed to instantly paste pics and even rotate and crop, i refuse to believe its not there. absolutely fell in love with this app

Is there a way to set the "z-index" equivalent when creating objects with the api?

I’m making objects and some of them go under some objects that I want to be in the background, is there a way to set the, in CSS terms z-index, putting some objects “backwards?”

Multiple boards live with video and up to 80 guests?

I’m looking to use Miro with about 80 guests who would be working in groups of 10-15 on a multi-step process to add their thinking. Is it possible to do this and also have them using video chat while working in those groups/boards?

Links not displaying on board when it's embedded

Hi Firstly apologies if this has been covered elsewhere already, I searched but couldn’t find anything on this. I’ve just created a Miro board using a free account, but in the Miro app for MacOS, and then I embedded that board in a SharePoint Page in my organisation’s Office365 account. I then added two links to the board: on one shape I added a link to another page in the SharePoint Site where I’ve embedded the board, and on another shape I added a link to a third shape in the board. When I view the board in the MacOS app I can see the little blow right-pointing arrows for the links and they work when I click on them, but when viewing the board in the embedded frame on the SharePoint Page I can’t see those arrows and clicking on the shapes does nothing. The relevant board section viewed in the Miro MacOS app.The relevant board section viewed on the SharePoint Site Page where I embedded it. This has led me to believe that displaying links in boards is not supported. Is that correct? Th

Block delete

Currently, beside the pen tool there is a little eraser icon which allows for deletion of unwanted bits. However, there is no “block/select” tool, which can then be used to draw out an area of a diagram which needs to be deleted.This would be useful.

Is it slow or it's just me?

Hi guys from Miro Board, i’m using Miro with a team of 4 or 5 people at a time but lately it has felt very sluggish to move around it, as if there were some packet loss, i haven’t felt any kind of problems using other apps but just miro takes a lot of times to refresh the screen and to move even if zoomed into a particular part, i don’t know if it is cos what i’ve been doing or if i have reached some kind of limit to what it can deal with, certainly when we tested Mural with the same workload it didn’t suffer this, i wonder if it is because it’s the free version or if this is expected behavior, any ideas?

Object is excluded from the frame

When two objects are grouped inside a frame and later one of the objects is moved inside the group, the same object is excluded from the frame. When the frame is moved the object stays in place.

Are events.miro and community.miro seperate

Are event & community different sign-ins?I seem to have had to sign-up twice - once to community.miro…. and once to events.miro…. (and is that a third one to just plain mirro…!)Currently wondering if I got this right Within community I couldn’t verify what eMail I used to sign-up. For events I think I used the same one to try to login and it said “doesn’t exists” and accepted the eMail for a sign-up - Am i now creating multiple IDs in different domains?If so there is NOTHING more confusing than having multiple ids with passwords and password aging and composition rules @Marina can you clarify ?

Is there an easy way to calculate dates automatically for a calendar?

I’m building a class calendar using the Monthly Planner template.  I’m wondering if there’s a way using JavaScript, Python, or simply a unknown-to-me feature that lets me easily start a calendar on a date and have it fill in the rest of the date labels on the calendar.  Seems like this should be a built-in, commonly used feature, but apparently not. Or, alternatively, is there a better calendar template?  I do semester-long calendars that map out an entire course with milestones, holidays, lectures and assignments.  There seems to be two versions of the Monthly Planner template.  When you create it in the browser app, it’s a weekly planner with generic labels.  If you create one using the desktop app, it’s more like a familiar calendar grid, but without dates.

Guest editors - is there a way to ensure that the access link cannot be passed around?

Hi everyone,  I’m new to Miro and I was wondering about the guest editor feature. Is there any way to ensure that the access link cannot be passed around? Is there something that prevents other people to access the board who I have not sent the link to but attained it through someone else? If not are their measures I can take?   Thank you!  Sarah

Solving a team work problem with links

When working with my team and some guest collaborators today, there was a frame with a number of links to other boards in it (sort of a Table of Contents).  The problem we experienced was that whenever one person clicked on a link, that link got highlighted, they were sent to the other board, and didn’t realize that the rest of the team could no longer click on that link because it was locked/frozen by the first person who clicked on it.Has anyone else had this issue and how do you solve it?  It really slows down our progress because everyone has to wait for the link to become un-highlighted again.--thanks for your help!

Export with Tabulation

Hey Community, I am coming from Xmind and switched to Miro for its collaboration geature. One thing I miss is the ability to export a mindmap with the tabulation that would illustrate the different relationships. I only experienced the CSV which is quite tedious as it puts everything on the same line. Is there a way to achieve that, or maybe a place somewhere in the backlog ;-)
