Miro Tutorial

About this video

Presented by David, this tutorial teaches Miro, a giant digital whiteboard for distributed teams, by planning a ‘community hub’ event. After signing up free with a work email and starting from scratch, he tours the board: a left toolbar for adding content, board name and settings top-left, reactions, activity, talk-track recording and sharing top-right, and zoom controls bottom-right. The brainstorming space is built with text headings (set to size 48 and bold), copied and pasted categories aligned left and distributed vertically, and divider lines straightened by holding Shift while dragging. Ideas go on colored sticky notes, and the board is shared with teammates Adele and Patti, who add their own notes live; locking items prevents others from moving them accidentally. Dragging sticky notes onto a table converts them into a project plan with properties like description and status, and switching the table to timeline view lets task timeframes be dragged into an overall plan. Frames group content so sections move together. Enhancements include templates, shown with a customer journey map found by searching the desired outcome, plus stickers, emoji, and comments added by pressing C. For diagrams, Create with AI generates a flowchart from a written prompt — admittedly quirky, but much faster than dragging shapes one by one. Finally, voting (which prompts an upgrade, with a free trial available) lets the team filter votable items to sticky notes, set votes per person and a time limit, and produces a result — Grill on Wheels wins the catering vote. Other collaboration tools mentioned include the alignment scale, breakout frames, and a spinner wheel.

Key takeaways

• A brainstorming board is assembled from text headings, straight divider lines, and colored sticky notes, with align and distribute tools keeping categories tidy
• Sharing a board lets teammates add sticky notes live, and locking key items stops them being moved by mistake
• Dragging sticky notes onto a table turns ideas into a project plan, and the timeline view converts it into draggable task timeframes
• Templates such as a customer journey map, plus stickers and C-key comments, jumpstart meetings instead of building scaffolding from scratch
• Create with AI generates a flowchart from a prompt far faster than manual diagramming, and the voting tool drives team decisions with configurable votes per person and time limits
