Allow creating widgets with transparent borders

Today, the api doesn’t allow to set the borderColor to “transparent”. Not setting any value, Miro defaults the border to black. We figured out that setting the borderOpacity to 0 is a possible workaround. Yet, this isn’t ideal because getWidgets doesn’t do this if users create transparent borders in the Miro UI (i.e. input and output API aren’t consistent). It would be great if you would allow API developers to set the border color to transparent.

Sticky notes automation

I’ve seen existing integrations to automate adding Cards to boards, but I can’t find any to add Sticky Notes. Is there already available integration or any other way to automate the creation of Sticky Notes.

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

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!

How to bound sticky notes?

Hello, I created a new tailored board for my particular purpose and added some shapes together, it looks nice and fits my needs. My journey was a bit troubled, I am not used to Miro and took a long time to fnish this board. Lots of rework. However, as soon as I added a sticky note, I noticed that the sticky isn’t bounded to the shape. Meaning, if I move the entire board, the sticky notes remain at the same place, they don’t move together. What am I doing wrong?

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?

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

Sending a Miro Session invitation via Outlook

We are planning a strategy planning session Monday next week for a client with 20 attendees.  They will be invited using the day pass.  We wanted to send the invitation out with the link and some notes at least 4 days in advance of the session.  However, we do not want them to click the link until the meeting day as their 24 hr day pass may expire before the scheduled session.  What approach is taken in this situation?  We currently have the Miro Consultant plan.

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.

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

Return access token in OAuth flow if Miro was installed earlier

The Miro OAuth flows shows a page on which the user can select the team to which Miro should be installed. Afterwards, the code (and subsequently the access_token) is provided. Yet, the flow can be only executed once because the “Installed” button isn’t clickable. This means, in case the application looses the Miro access-token (which I understand from the docu should be cached forever), the user is required to deinstalled the application from Miro and then trigger again the OAuth flow.

Performance issues

Hello, Are there any known issues with Miro right now? The status page reports OK, but we had Miro crash with a canvas of ~30 boards, 6 screenshots (150k per screenshot) and maybe 15-20 concurrent users. The board would not render for any users and would either crash or not load/sync.

Positioning system

How does the positioning system in the RESTAPI work? What I understood so far is that x/y coordinates define the middle point of the widget and that the values seem to correspond to display pixels. In particular: which x/y coordinates and width/height is advised to use when placing widget (assumption: all team members have different devices)?

Non-Team membership

Hello there,   So I am a freelancer who really likes Miro, but don’t need to use it as a team, but as an individual working on my own.  However, I could really do with being able to export jpgs etc of my boards.  There’s no tier that currently allows this, other than I think the consultant tier. Am I right in thinking that if I upgrade to that then I will only pay $12 a month but get everything the team level brings for my individual use without the need for a team?   Sorry if that seems a daft question. Just trying to work out the best way to work it. Many thanks, Cavan

Miro Hackathon – what would you build?

Internal hackathons are huge for Miro product culture. We organize them twice a year for two days and last month 20 teams were competing for the main prize for the 7th time in history. I just wanted to share some pictures from this internal event and give a sneak peek into the projects teams were working on.   For example, one of the teams called ‘Dotmocracy’ created a platform app for voting with a predefined amount of dots per user. Other projects include enhanced board history, plugin that allows to automate routine tasks on the board, and even custom Miro Instagram masks and stickers. I’m curious – if you were to participate in Miro Hackathon, what would you build?

Multiple presentations

With the infinite canvas, and having everything in one place, Is it possible to have multiple presentations?   The workaround at this point is to share the link where the new presentation starts, I just need to make sure the frames are organized.

Picture annotation on boards

Hey people! I’m making a follow up board after a workshop, and need your piece of advice on one minor thing  I’m taking pictures of all the flip-charts and physical boards we’re working on during the session, and apart from digitising them I want to keep original photos as both reference and story line.  How would you annotate these picture so that it is clear and simple?

Uploading locked docs

I am trying to upload password protected documents (PPT, Word) to a Miro board but get a message saying something went wrong. From trail & error, I think it’s because the docs are locked. Is it not possible to upload password locked documents?   Thanks! Monica
