The company is launching several new product features and integrations at Distributed ’22 designed to accelerate productivity by consolidating content and the most popular tools into one team workspace

SAN FRANCISCO and AMSTERDAM, 16 November 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Miro,® the online platform that accelerates innovation through visual collaboration, today announced the launch of several new features and a suite of integrations designed to advance the visual collaboration experience for its 45 million users. In particular, the company introduced its latest features as part of a digital hub that accelerates team productivity by consolidating the most popular tools into one team workspace. With the latest releases unveiled below Distributed ’22every team member has the ability to access, share and contextualize the content critical to their project – with live content, time-consuming efforts like app switching are eliminated.

Distributed ’22, Miro’s fourth annual user conference, was designed to help organizations “make room for people.” Most teams, regardless of location or size, have become dependent on their digital tool stack to get things done, but different teams often use different tools, so knowledge sharing becomes a complicated, tedious task. Also, the tools teams most often use don’t work together and rarely contextualize the information that matters most, making it more complicated for teams across different locations and time zones to get work done.

“With the transition to new, modern work models, projects and work are now based in the digital world. And although much can be said about the power of technology, the proliferation of applications companies experience is actually getting in the way of work. Companies use an average of 288 different SaaS -apps across the business. This often leads to several challenges, from siled knowledge environments to making it very difficult – if not impossible – to stay current on data and content that is most accurate and valuable. The ability to collect and share relevant and actionable insights with your team are essential – not only to work efficiently and effectively, but to achieve results quickly,” said Varun ParmarMiro’s Chief Product Officer.

With Miro as a digital hub, teams can easily build an inclusive, data-rich environment by bringing in a variety of live content into a single location and collaborating both synchronously and asynchronously. Miro is now even more valuable thanks to the ability to support the most popular and complex workflows – including project planning, reporting and dashboarding, employee onboarding and workshop facilitation – with a suite full of 700+ tools and integrations, including Amplitude, Confluence, Grafana, Looker, Tableau, Typeform and YouTube.

Also new, teams can build custom dashboards, connecting data points from the most used apps in their software stack, and since dashboard data is constantly updated, insights are always accurate, up-to-date and available to all collaborators on a project, removing silos often created among cross-functional team. Each dashboard serves as a single source of truth for even the most complex workflows.

“We deliver a powerful way to preview, use and share all the information most important to building context and alignment and achieving results. Combined with Miro’s deep suite of integrations across different types of content – including documents, surveys and video – the teams use every day, your Miro board now has the power to become the single source of truth for any project,” continued Parmar.

Miro also announced a number of new features now available in beta to make the platform more collaborative, interactive and dynamic, including:

Interactive presentations: Make presentations interactive for greater engagement and inclusion. An update to Presentation Mode, Interactive Presentations offers a simplified and more advanced toolbar for presenters and audiences alike. Presenters can now display content from the entire board instead of being limited to slideshow style, and audience members can now participate in activity apps, interact with content like sticky notes, and easily join any presentation created when they arrive on a board.
Talk track: Bring greater human connection into the work through blackboard recording. With Talktrack, anyone using Miro can record video or audio walkthroughs of the board. Each board is embedded in the video footage so viewers can interact directly with the board, creating an immersive collaborative experience. Talktrack also allows for multiple whiteboard recordings for multiple users to capture and contextualize each part of a project.
Localization: Miro is meant to be inclusive for everyone, and to keep that promise, the platform is now available in beta in French, German, Spanish and Japanese. Our team will continue to work actively on translation into each new language to ensure that all great ideas around the world can be captured.
New features requested by the Miro community: Miro’s main focus is always on the community, and there are now more than six different sources to capture and implement feedback. Available today are some of the most requested features from the Miro community, including:
