The absence of this feature makes is almost impossible to use Miro as our go-to design tool.

It is super needed feature! Also it was mentioned on realtimeboard advantages years ago. Would be really nice to see it!

But it’s not the same at all as paste playable Instagram post 


The ability to add video is a definite shortcoming. The cloud hosted workaround doesn’t work for us - we use the Miro spaces as a collective brainstorming location for developers and designers.. a lot of work-in-progress is posted from the design team.. but there’s no way the dev outputs to .mp4 can be posted to an external (public) environment prior to launch. at the moment we just share the video around on slack to participants on the Miro board.. Not a good solution. This is definitely an upvote from me.

I totally support/upvote this feature suggestion from @Rachael N. As a total newbie to (the otherwise very flexible Miro), it is already unusable for me unfortunately, because of the lack of such a core feature like this.

Please consider to add mp4 possibilities. Motion graphics and short social media videos are super important in our workflow.

The ability in insert an instagram/youtube/vimeo video would make MIRO 100000% more useful


We’d like to be able to do a screen recording of a prototype we’re working on, give a guided walkthrough, then post the video on Miro for feedback.

You can already do that.

 

But dropping .mp4 or other common video formats directly onto a board would be amazing.  I’m sure Miro doesn’t particularly want to host that much video; I’d be perfectly happy with some limitations on video length.  Common use case is wanting to embed a snippet of video for a presentation; if I’m making longer videos, Youtube is a better host anyway.

Pretty please? Otherwise I’ll keep filling your file servers with 30 MB gifs instead of 1 MB mp4s 😝


Yes please. Can’t show full designs etc. without staff and clients being able to view the video.

Can someone from the Miro team provide an update as to any progress on adding short .mov and/or .mp4 files to the list of accepted file formats? There’s clearly a need, based on this thread. It would be great to hear from the folks who make this awesome tool.


+1 🙏


Please add this feature asap. Apple Freeform offers some great features to add to Miro, please look at the Freeform features. Add videos, when you click on them on desktop it scales larger. Also with images, use a shortcut or space just to scale large. Awesome features. 


I would like to display a video on the whiteboard.
My job is as a character animator and I need to share movies for discussion and feedback.

Please keep us informed of the progress of this request!!

I just paid 1year subscription and I have found that I’m not able to post any video inside the Board.

So I have messaged the support team to cancel my subscription and to have a refund. 

For our business uploading/sharing videos is critical.

 

I hope that one day this will be also implemented into Miro. Sorry but for the moment you have lost me!

It is actually crazy. I just started wanting to do something only to realize that such an absolutely basic feature is missing. How is this possible in 2024?!

I’ll just chime in here as well. I love the experience of using Miro, but as a video and motion-centric team the additional hoops we have to jump through make it a challenge to get people onboard, and likely to be a dealbreaker in the end.

If not native video implementation, a direct integration with a more professionally accepted service like Frame.io is just simply a necessity. Uploading WIP (and highly confidential) material through a public-facing service like Youtube is simply a non-started due to security concerns as well as their copyright filtering.

 

Additionally the “this topic has been merged with this other topic which, if you go to, merges to yet another topic, which merges back to the original topic” is wildly confusing and doesn’t instill confidence this is something that’s actually being seriously looked at? Is it possible to get an update from an admin or dev here?


Same as Doug Spice here - doesen’t have to be a direct upload of mp4/mov but just a rather good implementation of popular services, especially frame.io.

So frustrating to see this has been a requested feature for several years and has been ignored. If it’s a hosting issue due to filesize, why can’t you just limit upload size for a video? I can drop a 10MB image onto a board but not a 2MB video. Why? This is basic functionality Miro for some reason refuses to add. Would love to at least hear some reasoning behind this (don’t expect I will though).
