Web page links (open graph) don't show link previews any more?

Previously in Miro, when pasting a website link, Miro would grab preview information from the page and display this in a small box panel.Discussed in this thread:When you paste a website in Miro, what determines the information displayed. | Miro However now, when I paste a link, the preview is not created any more. The link just displays as a plain text only hyperlink. Why did the previews stop working? These were great for research, collecting links and URLs, etc. It is much harder to organise and visualise the text only links. Can this automatic functionality be restored? I don’t want to have to manually take screenshots of each site. Also the description and image pulled through was better than a screenshot.

Can I make a Miro template, embed it in a website, let people edit the board and save it locally, without changing the original template?

I am making a Learning Management System, E-learning platform. I need to embed a Miro board with some exercises for my users. I need to give them the possibility of editing the board and possibly save it on their computers. At the same time, I need the original Miro board to remain untouched for the other users that will access it. Is it possible?

Miro embed (sign in) fails in Notion App - only connects in browser

I have tried every way I can think of to sign into my Miro account from Notion App to work on my Miro items within Notion. But I have failed! Is it actually possible (because it certainly looks like it…) to have a two-way sync with Miro in Notion? In the browser, I have be able to get full editing rights, but in the Notion App I can only view… and that’s exactly where I want to work.. in Notion… I have read from older posts that only viewing is possible, but if it’s possible to work in the browser… surely it’s possible to work in the app?? The actual issue I’m facing is that the sign-in keeps failing…  After I click the “sign in” button in Miro in Notion, it takes me to the browswer to login… but once I complete the sign-in info it just dies… “Redirecting” for ever… so this is where it’s failing…I do have at least 3 profiles I use in Google which may have caused sign-on confusion, but I’ve tried signing out of all profiles, and just using the one I want to use Miro with… I also have a

[RESOLVED] For Windows Desktop App, Disable / Re-Assign Alt Revealing App Ribbon

I lean quite heavily on Alt + Click / Drag to duplicate objects. Pressing Alt in the Windows Desktop App reveals the top application ribbon (File, Edit, etc). Duplicating objects using the Alt method reveals the top application ribbon, bumping interface elements (left-hand tool tray, vertical scroll bar) down, then re-hiding and re-shifting when any subsequent action is performed. It’s not a major issue, more one of those "Serenity Now, Insanity Later” kind of things. For as much as I’ve used both the desktop app and the Alt + Click / Drag Duplication method, I can’t remember this being an issue until quite recently. Not sure if an update affected this. On the topic of Alt + Click / Drag to Duplicate in the Desktop App, I’ve also noticed a recent uptick where an object will appear duplicated but not actually duplicate (it’s non-selectable). I’ll need to close out and re-open the board for the object to not appear and the board to resume its fully synced functionality. It happens every

Adding MindMap items via REST API?

I have a MindMap and would like to add more items there using my script. Obviously I want the new elements to have the same style as the ones already created - but they turn to be quite ugly (notice the white background of the “Sample Widget”). :-(The only differences between the “widget” object that was created manually and the one created by script areCreated on Miro UI Created by script     "id": "3458764523334544261",     "style": {         "backgroundOpacity": 1.0,         "backgroundColor": "#ffffffff",         "borderColor": "#ffffffff",         "borderStyle": "normal",         "borderOpacity": 1.0,         "borderWidth": 2.0,         "fontSize": 14,         "fontFamily": "OpenSans",         "textColor": "#1a1a1a",         "textAlign": "right",         "shapeType": "text_rect"     },     "text": "<p>SIP trunk</p>",     "x": -437.200615234375,     "y": 10.0,     "width": 56.4,     "scale": 1.0,     "rotation": 0.0,     "type"

How to use Miro offline as a personal tool

Hi,I would like to use Miro not only as a team tool but also as a personal tool to have personal boards of my own mind maps. It becomes a problem when needing to work offline (ex: in the train with bad/no wifi). I understand Miro doesn’t work offline on colaborative boards as the timeline of modification would become hard to follow. But for a personal boards not shared, is there a way to work offline? Technicaly, if not shared, it would not be complicated at all, only would require to stock data on local hard drive.

Presentation mode doesn't work. Help!

Hi,I made a workshop board in Miro for a workshop TOMORROW, and the presentation mode doesn’t work. We have a basic subscription, so it’s possible to invite people without an account to edit the board, but when I (the presentator) move around in the board in presentation mode, the participants don’t follow. Which I thought was the idea of presentation mode. There is also a part in the workshop, where I present some frames, and also there the participants don’t follow the frames if I click through them.I might find some workaround with sharing my screen but I think it might be confusing to switch between the shared screen miro and the “own” miro.

How do I publicly share a board / template so that people can copy (but not edit) it?

Hello, I have created a board with a number of canvases which I want to share with a public wider community so that they can use this board as starting point (template if you like).   I want them to be able to use it as template, i.e. copy it and make it their own, but not modify it. What is the best way of doing this?  What plan do I need to be on for this?   Thanks so much m

Resize multiple shapes to the same size (not stickies)

Hi, is there a way for me to resize multiple shapes to the same size? We didn’t think through our process thoroughly enough at the start, and now have 1000+ shapes that need to be resized to the same size for clarity.  If there is no feature for it, is there a way to script it? I’ve done similar scripts for illustrator but don’t know how I would go about running them within Miro.

How to get/upload image-data for a widget through the REST-API (url is null)

Hi,We have created a nice integration through your nice api. Widget stickers, frames etc do work fine. But accessing the data of Widgettype “Image” does not provide sufficient information.your documentation says this type would be readonly. But in the API result there is no specific data to get the image: "id" : "xxxx",    "title" : "",    "url" : null,    "x" : 9085.834285822924,    "y" : -4194.224152236103,    "width" : null,    "scale" : 1.6019392388194886,    "rotation" : 0.0,    "type" : "image",    "createdAt" : "2020-11-12T15:25:13Z",    "modifiedAt" : "2020-11-12T16:14:18Z",    "modifiedBy" : { The GetPicture API (https://developers.miro.com/reference#get-picture) seems only applicable for main boardpictures and not images an a frame (as far I can see)So how can we retreive the images on a board? (and we would also upload new ones...)Thnx

Issue with arrows

The problem I have is that when I do this, the lines/arrows in the frame are very small, (even when set to maximum size) you just cannot not see the arrows, and the lines are very thin.Is there a way around this, am I doing something wrong?Many thanksSteven

Can't Group Different Types of Objects

Before the latest update, I could group any objects on the board with other objects - frames, shapes, text, sticky notes, images. Today, I can only group objects of the same type. Half the time I add something different now, the option to group disappears.Sometimes I can group different types of objects, but it seems arbitrary - I could group 2 text boxes with multiple shapes, but when I added the third text box, the ability to group disappeared. Sometimes I can’t add a different type of object at all without the ability to group disappearing. If I select multiple types of objects at once with the left click&drag, I don’t get the option no matter what.Is this broken for anyone else? Is this a bug with the latest update?

Can't type in board?

New to Miro - Hello, I created a board but can’t type in it anymore - neither to edit stickies or text previously added by me, nor when I try and add new stickies - there just seems to be no option to change the text or type something new. this also happens when I create a new board - I can’t seem to type, nothing happens when I click in the space/on the sticky. I’m using Miro in Chrome, on my MacBook, and have just joined the lowest paid option (for three team members). Please help! TIA

Miro & Zoom Integration coming soon?

I heard during a training session recently that a Miro and Zoom integration is coming.  How can we get more information?  I am prepping for a workshop and plan to use both Miro and Zoom.   ​​​​​Do we have a timeline? What is the initial integration use case?   If it fits into my timeline, I would like to know if the use case(s) being worked on align with my needs or not.  I will be doing a workshop with 12 people and using Breakout rooms from Zoom to collaborate on different areas of the board.   Please let me know.  Thank you.
