Text blur option for Retro board

I’m setting up the Retro board. Instead of writing notes at the meeting (what worked well, not worked well questions), I’d like the member to fill the note before the meeting without others to read it. Fun Retro app had a text blur setting until the facilitator to reveal it. I was wondering if there is any solution for Miro?

New User Login Experience - How to get them straight to the board list vs. to the Templates page?

Hi All, Just starting to invite Day Pass users to a Team and we’re finding that when they log in, the first screen they get to is the “Pick a template” screen, if they X out of that, they are on a new Board of their own creation. I find this (as did our first Day Pass user) very disorienting. Is there a way for new users to come directly into the board list view? If not, how do others deal with it? Just include instructions to click out of the template, out of the board, and into the board you’d like them to join? (seems like 2-3 extra steps that virtually every new Day Pass user would need to take.   Also, can you invite Day Pass users just to a board, or do they have to be on a team (with access to all of the boards on that team)?   Thanks in advance,   David

Can we temporarily freeze participants to keep all on the “same page”?

Is there a way to temporarily freeze and disable participants from freely scrolling around the Miro interface while we’re working on a collaborative project? I would love to be able to temporarily freeze access so that I can keep all participants on the “same page” and focused on one board at a time when necessary. Any insight on how this can be done would be very much appreciated.

Is it possible to pull task lists from Teamgantt to Miro and back?

I am thinking of using Teamgantt as a project management tool, however I have come to really like the Miro whiteboard concept.  I need both! I want the whiteboard for collaboration and the ability to use the notes/frames/etc. But I am not happy with the Asana or Kaban cards for tracking tasks and status of tasks.  Has anyone used teamgantt?  Can anyone recommend a good task tracker that works with Miro and is not basic, basic.

Upgrading - What is the best plan for me?

Hi there, I am kind of a rookie here but I find the toll of great use. Thanks ! My question would be : I am currently on the free plan. There’s a lot of nice features, but I would like to have more than 3 boards and to use projects. But most of the time, I am using Miro alone and sometimes sharing content with people I mentor.  What is the best plan for me, as I pretty much alone in my team (TTeam plan needs 2 users min as weel as the consultant plan); Any advice ? Thanks !

What's the best way to get people to input text?

Running a workshop here in the next month and I am trying to find the most user friendly way to enter people’s responses. The issue is this: I have a segment in my workshop where I ask open-ended question. For example, “What are some healthy habits?” I would like even the least tech savvy attendees to be able to enter text. I have tried using stickies but they are quite difficult to use because they require you to double click in a specific spot. Furthermore, the formatting toolbar that appears is unnecessary and could lead to further confusion. Any thoughts on what tools to use?

Best way to allow multiple people to easily participate, and Can't get a single consultant plan!

I’m running a workshop on Wednesday. I’d like to use Miro for participants to put virtual post-its on a board. I don’t want them to have to create an account - I want the experience for them to be as easy as possible for them. (As it is with Jamboard, the other option I might use). Can I do this with the free account? If not, can I use the consultant account?  Which brings me to problem number 2 - I’ve tried signing up for a consultant account, but it only gives the option for 2 consultants or more, and there’s just one of me!   Thanks in advance for your help...

Expanding Text Box to reveal card

Hey team - Is there a way to expand textboxes like how cards currently do? I’m creating a pretty in-depth timeline for a project and the way cards appear aren’t very helpful since it takes up so much space, the text is extremely small unless you zoom out too far and the title can’t be boldened/formatted. Textboxes are far much more useful for this particular use-case so adding a function to be able to expand it like cards to reveal the same type of area to write notes would be awesome. Pls advise. Thanks!

Worried about upgrading - Need to be on more than 1 team - Free plan and my own Consultant Plan

I am currently within a team on a FREE plan. I want to have another space, my own space that is for my clients and projects. If I 'upgrade' will i damage the FREE space that the team is working on? (I am not the owner of the FREE space. Will I still be on the that team that holds the FREE space? I need both: 1) to be part of the original team on the FREE plan and 2) create my own CONSULTANT plan space to work on other types of projects.

Paid licenses not showing up

I’m really confused as I just paid for 3 additional licenses (with me making it a 4 person team).  I received the invoice with a copy of the charge hitting my credit card.  However when I go to add folks to my team it stated that I only had 1 additional full license.  Therefore, I have 2 folks that I can’t add (even though I have an invoice saying I paid for them).   Who can I contact for support?

App makers on Miro platform - share your experience!

Hi everyone  It’s @Natalie Nedre and the Platfrom team ⬇️(@Boris Borodyansky @Oleg Plotnikov Artem and Igor). And this is a special thread for your stories about building apps with Miro API, SDK & iframe.   If you have successfully built a custom app - share your experience with the Miro community below to get feedback and generate ideas for improvement!   Here are some helpful questions to plot your story. What does your plugin do and what is the pain/ problem your plugin solves (share GIF or a short Loom video)? Were there any workarounds before? Why they didn’t work if any. Have you built apps or plugins on any API before? What’s your advice on starting with Miro Platfrom Documentation? What was the most pleasant/funny/interesting moment for your team when building an app? If you are open for GitHub pull requests, share a link to GitHub source code.   FYI: for any Developer Platfrom bug reports or questions to the team, please find a dedicated thread, or chat with a team in t

Drop-Down Menu

Hi everyone,   I’ve been using Miro for a couple of months and it’s been great. I wanted to know if there was a drop-down menu feature that I could add to the boards. Basically, when a team member is updating a project, I would like them to be able to choose a status from a drop-down menu that I create. Is this possible to do?   If a feature like this is not available, I know that Miro is now open to developers, correct? How would I go about asking a developer to create a tool like this for me. What would they need know know (coding wise)? This feature and others I have in mind are quite important so I would like to find a way to implement it as soon as possible.

Miro for Online Courses - Template Copying

I am a long time mind mapper, but new to Miro and trying to figure out the best plan for me and what problems it might solve. Coaching: I am a time management coach and work with clients around the world. Would the client need to be a user as well to work together on a mind map? If so, could I create my own templates that they could then download and access with a free Miro account (I assume many would eventually upgrade). Online Courses: I see some people putting workshops in Miro. Could I use Miro as a LMS system (read only). Once again, could they download templates I provide? Thanks for your help.
