Get to know Miro

Wondering what Miro is and what you can accomplish using our visual workspace? We’ve got you covered. In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about Miro — including our key capabilities, customer success stories, and how you can start creating and collaborating yourself.

Let’s jump in.

What is Miro? A quick product overview

So, what exactly is Miro? Let’s break it down. Miro is a visual workspace for innovation where teams of any size can dream, design, and build their future together. Simply put, we’re here to help you create the next big thing by providing a powerful space where your team can collaborate seamlessly — even if you aren’t in the same room.

Starting a new project is as easy as creating a new Miro board and adding everything from shapes to sticky notes using our built-in toolbar — or by dragging and dropping your own files. Either way, you’ll have an infinite canvas to work with, leaving you plenty of room to unleash your creativity.

Built for collaboration, Miro makes it easy to invite others to your board, whether you’re looking to work in real time or async. But if you prefer, you can share your work when you’re ready by choosing one of many ways to get eyes on your Miro board — including exporting it.

From diagramming and wireframing to project management and data visualization, Miro is packed with features that support every stage of your innovation journey. And with more than 130 app integrations – including popular platforms like Jira, Azure, Zoom, Slack, and Teams – you’ve truly got an all-in-one tool at your fingertips.

In other words, say goodbye to back-and-forth, and hello to doing more with less.

Workshops and async collaboration

Miro is built for collaboration — and we mean it. Whether you’re working in real time or async, you’ll have all the tools you need to seamlessly create together and run meaningful feedback cycles.

Want to present your work? Host engaging, interactive meetings and workshops straight from your Miro board, and maximize participation using tools like voting, timer, live reactions, and Private mode.

Prefer to present async? Use Talktrack to record interactive videos that guide people through your Miro board, allowing you to collect ideas, get feedback, or make decisions — without having to schedule a meeting.

Content and data visualization

Miro makes it easy to visualize a wide range of content and data — including documents, designs, survey results, videos, and live data. Easily sync and aggregate information from across your tech stack into a Miro board, then use our native collaboration and design features to get work done alongside it.

In other words, you’ll be able to create and collaborate in Miro while referring to important context and maintaining a big-picture video of your work — keeping your team on the same page and allowing you to make better decisions faster.
