embedAutoplay=true with Frames

@Latic - Welcome to Miro, and to the online community!

I will assume you mean <iframe> and not a Miro Frame.

it doesn’t appear the embedAutoplay=true option can be used

You are correct - iframes in Miro do not support autoplay. Additonally, not all iframe sources will open within the Miro board itself and will open in a modal window instead.

You can read more about iframe behaviour in the Embedding Media to Boards Help Center article.

Hello,

This seems to go against the knowledgebase:

Plus other replies in this forum:

Does this only work with embedded “editable” boards and is not a feature for prestentation / framed boards.

@Latic - Ahhh, okay. Now I understand. You are trying to” embed a Miro board into an external website”.

This is working for me. Here are my test conditions:

From my board:

Add:

&embedAutoplay=true

For my new embed code of:

<iframe width="768" height="432" src="https://miro.com/app/live-embed/o9J_lBuUyCU=/?moveToViewport=-327,-212,702,330&embedAutoplay=true" frameBorder="0" scrolling="no" allowFullScreen></iframe>

My board’s Share settings:

And once pasted into a Google Sites page - working in Chrome Version 90.0.4430.212 (Official Build) (64-bit) on Windows 10 Home.

Yep, i did the same, check what happens when you use Presentation!

Hey @Robert Johnson,

The team has added this part to the article:

I have tried every variation of this code with both Free Navigation and with Presentation mode. I simply cannot get the Autoplay to work. I am trying to embed a frame from one Miro board into a different Miro board.

Even the samples provided above in this thread are not working for me, and I always get the large play button instead of just showing the content.

Also, once created an embeded section, I am unable to edit the code and I need to delete it and re-create it every time.

I have tried both Chrome and Edge with the same result.  Can anyone confirm they are actually getting this to work?

Let me clarify my post:

My use case: I am trying to setup one Miro board that has common components, such as a Legend. I want to use a single frame within that common component Miro board and embed it into a different Miro Board. It must AutoPlay and just show the content without having to click a Play button.

None of the examples or code displayed actually work to AutoPlay from one Miro board to another. No matter what I try, it always shows up as a giant play button.

@DigitalPO - Your use case sounds completely reasonable, especially since Miro does not currently support dynamic objects that can be displayed across boards. However, I suspect that boards cannot currently be displayed using autoplay within other boards, which is kind of crazy considered they can on external sites. There even appears to be a Wish List Idea post to request this feature:

https://community.miro.com/wish-list-32/embed-or-link-a-miro-board-within-another-miro-board-nested-boards-472

I would suggest creating a Miro support ticket - maybe there is a way and the Embedding Editable Boards into Websites Help Center article needs to be updated.

You can find information on contacting Miro support in the following article:

https://help.miro.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020185799-How-to-Contact-Miro-Support

Here’s how to get to the support form if you’re on a paid plan:

And if you’re on the free plan, there is a link in the above Help Center article:

Thanks @Robert Johnson!

I found a workaround solution, although it’s not ideal.

First, I captured the link to the specific frame I want to embed and used a Web Capture instead of iFrame to insert it into Board B. I can’t seem to get the link to the frame set to automatically go to presentation mode or full screen within the URL. To get around this issue with the map and Miro tools covering my frame, I intentionally oversized the frame so I could crop this out.

Third, I cropped the Web capture to eliminate the Miro header and map and show the section of the frame I wanted.

So far, this option seems to work, except that when I update the common component, I need to manually refresh the Web Capture on every Miro board where it’s used. It’s not ideal, but still better than having to manually edit common components on 12 different boards.

For me, it’s the same, I can’t embed in another website, which is Notion, with the function of “autoplay”

@Isaias Junior Chavez Diaz - Can you share an example of the code you are embedding?

This is working for me for both Free Navigation and Presentation as out lined in the How to embed editable boards into websites help center article.
